your prayers,

how you are living your faith in your homes!  

 

Parents to parents, teens to teens - We need to support each other!  Help each other get to heaven!  Let us connect!  The Holy Father says to use the Internet for the Good News!  It is a gift from God!  We can bring Jesus closer to each other!  Let's do it!!!

Faith Formation - Religious Education 

is a Life-Long Process!  

We never know and understand God and our faith completely!  

As parents, God has given us the task of passing on our faith to our children.  We at St. Joseph are here to PARTNER with YOU!  Come and join our Faith Family, and together we will grow closer to Jesus and to each other as we follow Jesus every day!!!

 

Early Childhood/Elementary/Middle School Registration Form can be completed on-line, printed out and signed, given to the Rectory with your registration fee !

 

 

   

 

Early Childhood - Ages 3-5  

- Sunday Mornings from 9-10 am.   

 

 

 

  

 

Does your child need their 1st Communion?

Are they in the 1st or 2nd grade?

- This is a two- year process. Classes are Sunday mornings from 10:30-11:45.    Parents are involved in the process.

 

 

 

 

Is your child in grades 3-5?  It is so important that they continue learning about how God loves them and how they can grow in faith during this age group.

 

 

 

 

 

Middle School - Grades 6-8 - is on Tuesday evenings from 7-8pm.  Not your boring-sit-in-class evenings!  Learn how to put your faith into ACTION!!! 

 

 

ON THE EDGE - Middle School Youth Ministry will also be on Tuesdays beginning in the fall!  Look for the calendar in September! 

 

Confirmation Registration

  

 Confirmation is a sacrament that deepens our faith and allows us to see how the Holy Spirit is working in our life!  The goal of the confirmation process is for every teen to ask questions, search for God in their own individual way; coming to their own understanding of how much God loves them and how the Catholic Church helps them grow closer to God through the sacraments and community.

 

Confirmation Process is two years and for teens from 9-12th grades.

We meet weekly on Sunday mornings from 11am through the 12:30 mass. 

  

Confirmation Registration Form - You can register by completing the form on-line, printing it out, signing the appropriate forms, then turn it in with the registration fee to the Rectory!
