The St. Joseph University Parish Youth Group consists of high-school students who are members of the parish. Teens from many different schools and backgrounds make up our diverse and lively group. The group meets year-round on most Sunday nights in the Parish Office Center. Meeting times are always listed in the bulletin but are usually from 7-9pm. During the meeting the teens are told about upcoming events, deadlines and important dates. We do various activities during our meetings. We plan service activities; we socialize, and we work on projects. Frequently Asked Questions Q. What does the youth group do? A. The youth group gets together on a regular basis to socialize, grow in faith, and do service oriented activities. Q. Who can join the youth group? A. Any high-school student can join the youth group. Q. Do I have to attend all the meetings to be a member of the Youth Group? A. No. You are not required to be at every meeting to be a member of the Youth Group. However, regular attendance at meetings is the best way to stay involved in what the group is doing. Other Ways for Teens to Participate The Youth Group is not the only way for teens to get involved here at St. Joseph University Parish. Some high school students in the parish serve as altar servers, lectors, choir members, Eucharistic ministers, and greeters. Others help out with their families on Donut Sundays. Teens volunteer to help with Generations of Faith Sessions and other parish events. Youth in the parish are always welcome to serve in whatever way they feel called. This includes joining committees and attending meetings at the parish. If you would like more information on how to get more involved in the parish, please contact Tina Titus at 833-0298 or tinat718@yahoo.com.
