Eighth grade year will continue to utilize Edge for the first half of the year but will focus on developing a strong and personal connection to Sacred Scripture. During the second semester we will take a look at Christian morality, relationships, and human sexuality utilizing a Life Teen “Life Night” series about Theology of the Body. We will talk all about the beautiful gift of our bodies and the Church’s magnificent teaching on human love and the divine plan articulated so very lovingly by Saint Pope John Paul II.

In high school we begin to shift faith formation efforts increasingly towards the small group setting. In particular, we like to focus very intentionally on developing strong prayer lives, accountability among peers, and a deep understanding of discipleship. Ultimately, we hope these years will launch young people into a relationship with Christ and his Church that will last a lifetime  and give them the tools, skills, knowledge, etc… to be Jesus’ disciples and living saints. We use Life Teen’s “Life Nights” and “Summit Lectionary Studies” along with other curriculum resources appropriate for the developmental stages of high school students as they begin to transition into young adulthood.
