Youth Formation 6th-12th Grades

EDGE (Middle School)

Click HERE to learn about Life Teen, the Catholic youth ministry organization which creates our EDGE materials. 
EDGE is our Youth Formation Program for the 6th-8th grade. It is an active youth ministry program that takes us out of the classroom setting.  Takes place on Wednesdays, 6-7:30pm in the STM Gym.
Overview of an EDGE night: 
1) GATHER: All youth meet in the gym for an opening game or activity. This introduces the theme for the night.
2) PROCLAIM: A brief 10 min teaching on the night's theme. 
3) BREAK: Youth split into "small groups" for discussion and a hands-on activity to help them processes the teaching. 
       - Youth stay with the same leader and small group members all year. This builds community and belonging.  
4) SEND: We end with prayer. Our goal is to teach the youth how to pray, and help them find a prayer style that works for them.

T12 & YDisciple (High School)

Would you like to be involved in YDisciple or T-12 as a volunteer (teen or parent!)?  Please fill out  our volunteer survey and talk with us!
Y-Disciple  is our small group discipleship ministry for high school teens.  
  • YDisciple groups are lead by two adult mentors and offer teens a chance to grow deeper in their faith, ask questions, and encourage one another within a supportive small community. Teens must intentionally choose to be in a youth discipleship group.   Teens also can choose to meet at a time that works best for their schedule, as well as the topics and service projects for their group.
  • YDisciple is a very parent-focused program.  Parents have access to the same material their teens are covering in their discipleship groups!  This allows parents to grow in their own faith alongside their teen, as well as engage in meaningful conversation with their teen about matters of faith.  Every week parents are also given a summary of the key points in that week's discussion, along with questions and a specific challenge to help apply faith to their own family life.  
  • Learn more on YDisciple's website.
T-12  (for Teen Twelve Disciples) is our regular faith formation - open to all high school kids.  We offer several short series on relevant topics that have been chosen by the teens.  
  • T-12 meets on select Wednesdays (see schedule) at 7:15 -9:00 pm.  During every T-12 night, we have some social gathering time to engage with teens, present solid teaching on Catholic topics, allow time for small group discussion, and learn various ways to pray.   Our schedule is structured for a break for several weeks from the large group T-12 nights to allow time for teens to meet in their small discipleship groups.
  • Please see our calendar for details.
