Youth Ministry - Middle School
During both 7th and 8th grade, students begin to transition from a formal school setting to a more youth-oriented group format.
In 7th Grade, all students meet one evening a week for both large group and class instruction. Students are separated into young men and ladies classes in order to facilitate personal discussion and lessen distractions. Doing so also begins to increase friendships and peer relationships.
In 8th Grade, all students meet together in a large group / small group one night a week. This mirrors the popular "Life Teen" format used by many parish Youth ministries and has been successful in maintaining teens' interest after Confirmation.
At St. Joseph's, 7th Grade meets Wednesday evenings from 5:45 to 7:15pm, and 8th Grade meets from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.
