Formation in the Faith... Education in the faith has always been an important aspect of the Catholic way of life. Opportunities for adults, teens, and children are available on an ongoing basis. The times for Bible Studies, prayer experiences, and other programs are listed in our bulletin each week and in our parish newsletter.
- R.C.I.A. -“Understanding the Catholic Faith” classes are offered twice each year. This is an excellent series for non-Catholics who want to become Catholic or learn more about the faith. It is also very beneficial for Catholics who have been away from the practice of the faith for a long time. A great program and experience.
- JUNIOR HIGH/HIGH SCHOOL C.Y.O. - Christian Youth Organization - Total Youth Ministry is what it is all about at St. Joseph’s! We strive to cover the concepts of knowledge, service, religion, and community in our Youth program. Just join us most any Sunday evening and you will find out all about our, “CYO Happenings.” Sunday evenings begin with a real celebration of the Eucharist at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner and fellowship. After dinner our youth are updated about upcoming events in which they can participate. These events are religious, service-oriented, or social in nature. After our meeting our youth divide up according to classes and join a facilitator for short sessions on the Catholic Faith. Topics range from Scripture to Sexuality; from Prayer to Active Contemplation.
