Join us at the next EDGE event!

EDGE is our middle school youth group/faith formation program. Adapted from Lifeteen’s youth ministry resources, EDGE provides a fun environment for youth from 6-8 grade to build community and grow in faith. St. Rita’s EDGE group meets from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. in the St. Rita youth room most Sundays each month. We also attend the Diocesan Outpouring Retreat in January. Please fill out the registration and medical forms linked below if your child is planning to join us for EDGE this year, and contact Abby Walraven at abigail.walraven.strita@gmail.com if you have any questions!

This year, we are planning to attend the Diocesan Outpouring Retreat at the St. Francis Retreat Center in DeWitt, MI January 24-26, 2025. This retreat is open to anyone (7-12th grade) preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation, or those looking for a retreat centered on the Holy Spirit. The weekend includes Mass, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The retreat begins with check in between 6:30 – 7:00 p.m. on Friday, January 24th and ends at noon on Sunday, January 26th. Cost is $125 for the weekend. All EDGE students are strongly encouraged to attend Outpouring, if at all possible. This is an amazing opportunity for our youth to grow in relationship with one another and in their faith!

Please reach out to our youth minister, Abby Walraven, with any questions or for more information regarding youth activities.
