Youth Programs

Youth Programs ministries involve young parishioners between the ages of 10 and 25 and assist with their spiritual growth to cultivate a lively baptismal and eucharistic spirituality with a powerful sense of mission and apostolate.

 

 

Cub Scouts

Through participation in den meetings, outings, and activities, boys achieve the aims of scouting: citizenship training, character development and personal fitness in grades one through four. Many parent volunteers are needed.

CYO / Athletic Boosters

This group provides for and supports athletic programs for our children, which promote the Christian ideals of fairness, fitness, sportsmanship and fellowship scholarship. Adult assistance is needed for coaching, facilities assistance (supervision, setup and cleanup), concession stand management, fundraising, and promoting the various sports programs for both boys and girls. The athletic programs are for all St. Joseph Parish members whose children attend PSR as well as those students who attend Sts. Joseph and John School.

Daisies, Brownies and Girl Scouts

Fun activities and service projects help girls learn about themselves and others while developing physically, emotionally and spiritually. Volunteers are invited to help with various meetings and projects of the scouting program.

Youth Ministry

Youth Ministry exists in the church as a means to serve those who are high school students (grade 9-12). The program takes a comprehensive approach as outlined by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. This includes opportunity for prayer, growing in community, service and catechesis. There is particular focus and emphasis on leadership development and having teens recognize and utilize their God given gifts and talents. Youth Ministry is a parish responsibility and welcomes the talents of those who wish to volunteer with the program.
