St. Joseph’s Youth Ministry helps teens better know, love, and serve God. Faith life doesn’t stop after Confirmation. God calls each of us to a lifelong, authentic relationship with Him. By encouraging teens to know and love God and giving them opportunities to serve, we hope to revolutionize teen culture and form young disciples. Confirmed teens in 8th grade and older are invited to join any of our scheduled activities! Follow our group on Remind.com/join/stjpcyg
The St. Joseph youth group meets on Sunday nights from 7-8pm at the PAC for fun, snacks, prayer, and thought-provoking discussion. It's a space where young people can come together and both be their authentic selves while deepening their own understanding of the faith and its role in their lives. Normal nights have a theme for the discussion and activities, while some nights on the schedule are marked as Ignite. Ignite nights are designed to embody the concept of holy leisure by allowing the youths to have an stress-free night of fun. Friends are encouraged to join for any meeting, but especially so for Ignite nights!
