EDGE for 6th Grade

Welcome to 6th Grade EDGE

Registration form is below!

EDGE is now virtual

Due to Covid-19 our 6th grade EDGE Program is meeting virtually via Zoom. The Zoom link is emailed prior to the EDGE sessions to all families registered in the program. If your child would like to attend EDGE please complete the registration form below.

What is EDGE?

EDGE is a place for 6th-grade middle school youth to feel welcome and encouraged to grow in their relationship with Christ and with each other. Through games, meaningful teachings, small groups, prayer, and more, we see that our faith is more than just going to Mass on Sunday…it must be lived.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all Middle School Ministry events will be virtual until further notice.

When?

Beginning in September, EDGE will meet on two Sunday evenings a month (via Zoom) from 6:30 to 7:00 PM.

What will a “virtual” EDGE Night look like?

Our virtual EDGE nights will be designed to meet the needs of your middle schooler during Covid-19. Our nights will begin with prayer, then will have an activity, teaching, small group discussion, and close with prayer. The sessions will only last 30 minutes but will be very impactful and help your child stay connected with their faith and their parish community.

I understand that photographs, videos, and/or interviews are being done with the knowledge and approval of Saint Jude the Apostle and that a signed release form is required for every participating individual.

Virtus Program
The Archdiocese of Atlanta subscribes to VIRTUS® to provide a consistent Safe Environment foundation for our children. It is the shared responsibility of parents, teachers, and catechists to give our children the awareness and tools they need to overcome anyone who intends to harm them. It is an expectation that all Catholic Schools and Faith Formation programs use the VIRTUS® Lesson plans.
I give my permission for my child(ren) to attend the Archdiocesan VIRTUS Program during EDGE. PLEASE NOTE: If you do not want your child(ren) to participate in VIRTUS with EDGE, please send us written confirmation that the VIRTUS training has already been (or will be) provided to your child(ren).

Permission to Contact Youth*
Saint Jude the Apostle Catholic Church follows the Archdiocese of Atlanta’s Social Media Policy and Guidelines for the Use of Social Networking Sites with Minors for contacting youth via social media. We may also use text messages, email, and parish-approved online/virtual platforms to contact youth. Per this policy and guidelines, parents must be made aware of how social media and electronic communications are being used. Parents must be told how to access the sites and be given the opportunity to be copied on all material sent to their children. After receiving written permission to communicate with young people, Archdiocesan employees should be encouraged to save copies of conversations whenever possible, especially those that concern the personal sharing of a teen or young adult. Please reference the policy and guidelines for more information. I hereby grant permission for Saint Jude the Apostle Catholic Church to contact my child for internal or external communications for one year via social media, email, text, and/or parish-approved online/virtual platforms. I understand I can request the same communications provided to my child, and that it does not have to be via the same technology (for example, if children receive a reminder via Twitter, parents can receive it in a printed form or by an email list).
