Truth of the Matter

Magisterium of the Catholic Church

About this Edge Night

Begin this night with a fun icebreaker that involves the youth safeguarding an item from being taken. The Proclaim will introduce the Magisterium, the role of the Magisterium and the importance of looking to the Catholic Church for answers to our questions. During small group, the youth will be challenged to understand the need for a teaching authority for knowing what is truth. The Closing Prayer is from the Liturgy of the Hours. This is a universal prayer of the Church and connects us to the Liturgy and brings them into the prayer of the Catholic Church.

Goal of This Night

The goal of this Edge Night is to teach the middle school youth about the Magisterium of the Catholic Church as the office that safeguards the truth and is the teaches and instructs the faithful.

CORE PREPARATION

We always recommend full preparation for any Edge Night. This night, however, will require you to be ready to answer questions about some of our beliefs as Catholic Christians. Read through the “Fact or Opinion” activity (Handout A on page 74) and be prepared to answer questions that may arise. Read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church and other resources (100 Things Every Catholic Teen Should Know from Life Teen) to better prepare for this session.
