Welcome to the 6 th Grade EDGE Program! This program combines Religious Education with Youth Ministry. EDGE provides fun, interactive activities along with Catholic teaching. Students meet twice a month on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00 P.M. We will have four Ministry Nights throughout the year where students will learn about the faith in a fun and interactive manner. In addition to the 6 th Grade EDGE Program, we will also offer a Home Study Program for those parents who wish to teach their own child in their home. In this program, assignments are e-mailed to the Home Study Coordinator, who grades the work and sends it back to the student via e-mail. Placements are made on a first-come, first-served basis, so please get your forms in early! The registration form consists of 2 pages; fill out both pages (there is room to register two 6 th grade students on the registration form, for example twins).
