About the Youth Program

The youth program at St. Joseph Parish is a place where youth from around the area, both Catholic and non-Catholic alike, come to meet other Catholic and faith-filled youth. It is a place where youth learn what it means to live a Christian lifestyle, to be part of a faith community, and where they can learn the history and meaning behind the traditions and beliefs of the Catholic faith.

Regular youth meetings for Jr. High youth (grades 7 & 8) are on Wednesday evenings from 7-8:30pm. Regular youth meetings for Sr. High youth (grades 9-12) are on Sunday evenings from 7-9pm. Our activities also include a monthly youth Mass on the second Saturday night of each month (except in February) at 5:30pm. The majority of the ministries at these Masses are run by youth, but it is not a Mass exclusively for the youth. All ages are welcome. Afterwards, there is a social activity for the Sr. High youth of the parish. Other activities fill our year including retreats, ski/snowboarding days, service projects, etc. Check out the links to our schedules and other activities.

For more information or to get registered in our program, call the parish office.

Vacation Bible School

July 12th-16th, 9 am to Noon

This summer, set sail for the High Seas of VBS fun! Feel sea spray on your face as sails snap overhead - and you and your crew experience the deep, rolling waters of God's love!

Each day during this high-action adventure kids will experience a surge of Bible truths in an engaging way. This year's program will welcome pre-K through grade 6 kids to High Seas Expedition - exploring the mighty love of God!

A successful VBS requires you, our volunteers. Our volunteers will help kids discover how God's word is true, comforting, and life-changing. There are many ways you can volunteer. Please contact Mary Gilman at 448-0237 or by email to mary@axodys.com for more information. God's Word is your guide and the Lord is your compass! So climb aboard for the voyage of a lifetime!
