Edge Night: Passing the Baton

The Edge Night begins with a Gather that features a surprise party to celebrate the parish priest(s). The Proclaim uses the analogy of passing a baton to show how the Sacrament of Holy Orders is the Church’s way of keeping the unbroken line of apostolic succession going from Jesus to today’s clergy. In the Break, the youth make prayer cards so they can pray for seminarians and write letters to the seminarians, thanking them in advance for serving the Church. The Send includes a video that features priests and their stories, as well as a prayer for priests from St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
