The Gift of Knowing Jesus Christ

Picture
The goal of Faith Formation at St. Joseph's is to support your relationship with God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In this section you will find resources and information to live Catholic Stewardship by increasing your faith, strengthening your hope and deepening your love of God and neighbor. Knowing God involves a relationship. God reveals Himself to us and we respond to this gift as thankful stewards of His providence.

Below are just some of the programs we have available, for a more detailed list, see the links in the drop-down menus above.

A Safe Environment for Children

St. Joseph's maintains a strict training protocol for clergy, employees and volunteers who provide direct services to or have unsupervised contact with children. As mandated or ethical reporters of child abuse, all clergy, employees and volunteers, before working unsupervised with children, will be required to complete the Live Scan process which includes fingerprinting and background check and receive a clearance from the Safe Environment Training Manager’s Office as well as complete the Virtus training course and present a certificate of completion to the parish Safe Environment Coordinator.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)

Bible and Faith Studies
Picture
Adult Education is a not only a priority at St. Joseph's it is a way of life.  We invite you to embrace this way of life through one of the many and various ways offered in our parish family of families. ​Throughout the year we offer different opportunities for adults to delve deeper into the riches of God’s revealed truth through adult Bible and Faith studies.

In order to help facilitate this component of sacramental preparation of students, St. Joseph’s offers numerous adult faith formation opportunities. During initial sacramental reception years, at least one of the student’s parents or guardians is expected to be engaged in ongoing faith formation at St. Joseph’s or an approved equivalent program regardless of previous faith formation experience. Several formats and schedules are available at varying times throughout each year. ​
