The goals of Edge:

1. To foster a transforming spiritual experience of Jesus through the liturgy which will allow early adolescents to experience the Word of God and the Eucharist in a deeper and more profound way.

2. To create a positive experience of the Catholic Church for early adolescents.

3. To assist middle school youngsters in gaining an understanding and appreciation of what the Catholic Church teaches and believes.

4. To incorporate the Catholic Church's vision of social justice and peace into the spiritual life of preadolescents.

5. To develop an understanding in middle school youth that they are a vital and visual presence within the parish community.
