St. Edwards Youth Ministry is committed to the teens of our parish.  Realizing the importance of balance with our young people, and the adult faith community which is outlined by the 8 components, Youth Ministry is working to meet the needs of our young people with the following opportunities to grow in faith, and discipleship to encounter Jesus.

  • Advocacy
  • Evangelization
  • Pastoral Care
  • Leadership Development
  • Prayer & Worship
  • Community Life
  • Catechesis
  • Justice & Service

“These ministry components describe the “essence” of ministry with adolescents these components provide a framework for the Catholic community to respond to the needs to young people and to involve young people in sharing their unique gifts with the larger community.  They provide a structure for the Church’s ministry with adolescents, while encouraging local creativity in developing programs, activities, and strategies for each component.  Each ministry component supports and enhances the others.  A comprehensive ministry with Adolescents provides balance among all eight components.”                                    Renewing the Vision (pg 26).
