These nights provide an opportunity for teens to go deeper in their faith, share their faith with their peers through witness talks and interactive discussion and learn more about issues facing teens today and how to deal with them.
Pizza and Prayer nights we gather to pray as a faith community for our intentions and for any issues confronting our teens. In an informal way we further our relationship with Jesus and experience His unconditional love by praying as a community, with and for one another. These nights always prove to be a powerful experience for everyone in attendance.
Retreats
Our teens are given several opportunities to be on retreat. We hold retreats both in the winter and in the spring. The retreats have given us a very special opportunity and setting for the sacrament of Reconciliation and Eucharistic Adoration
Welcome to St. Joseph the Worker Youth Ministry!
The Youth and Family Mass takes place every Sunday during the school year at 6:00pm and provides teens and their families with a liturgy geared toward their spiritual needs. This Mass requires a "full and active participation of the entire community". The Mass, homily and music are specifically directed to the teens and they have responded wholeheartedly. The teens also take an active role in the ministries at the Mass specifically, Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Sacristans and Hospitality. There are many other elements of the liturgy that speak to teens on their emotional level found mostly in the unconditional love of Christ and of that same sharing in the community.
Youth Ministry Nights are offered on Sundays after the 6pm Mass.
