We are excited to offer a program that is combined with St. Joseph Church located on Lake Street in Kalamazoo.  We are excited to see our youth grades 6-8 be active in the faith.  We look to provide a program that teaches, excites, energizes, and inspires them to engage their God.  There is no registration for this program unless you are getting confirmed this year.  This program is a drop-in program that allows you to bring your friends, come when you can to any programs no matter at St. Joseph or St. Catherine, and pick topics and ideas that excite you.  If you are getting confirmed this year, please return the Confirmation Record Keeping Form that is in the packet.  We look forward to having a year of faith sharing, games, fun, laughter, prayer, and new levels of learning.  We look forward to seeing you and anyone you bring along.  

We look forward to you engaging in any and all of these activities.  Please see the packet for dates and times, or contact the Youth Minister for more information

Sunday Youth Ministry:  This is a time where we will look at and learn about different theology topics and ideas.  We will learn about these through discussion, small group sharing, prayer and meditation, and talks.  

Monday Youth Ministry:  This is a time where we will focus on learning specifically about the Sacraments of the Church.  We will do this through sharing our faith in large and small groups, talks by instructors, and games.  

Wednesday Youth Ministry:  This is a time where we will focus on Saints of the Church.  We will learn about a specific Saint each week.  We will learn about their lives and how they can inspire us to be better.  

Monday and Wednesday Faith Share Group:  This is a time where you have to RSVP with the Youth Minister.  We will gather in groups of 3-7 at local restaurants.  We will share faith through scripture and certain discussion topics.  Your food and drinks will be paid for.  

Michigan Adventure:  This is a time of holy fun where we will spend a day at Michigan Adventure.  We will take charter buses for transportation.  Contact the Youth Minister for registration forms.  

Saint Meinrad Retreat:  This retreat held in Southern Indiana at Saint Meinrad Archabbey is a great time of personal reflection and prayer.  We will do share groups, faith walks, pray with the monks, and will spend a day at Holiday World Amusement and Waterpark.
