Discipleship Ministries at St. Joseph provides paths an individual
 or family may walk to grow as joyful disciples of Jesus Christ.

 To be a disciple of Jesus Christ is to hear His word and live it.  It is to celebrate the sacraments.  It is to share His goodness with the community and to the world.  All of this has to be grounded in the trust and knowledge that we are each seen, known, accompanied, and loved by God who made us!  In order to be a joyful disciple of Jesus Christ we must first receive His love.

Discipleship Ministries exists to do all this!  When we reach out to the homebound, we receive, proclaim, and bring His love.  When we gather for Building the Domestic Church, we rejoice in and share His saving love.   When we prepare to receive the sacraments of Matrimony, Confirmation, or Baptism, our preparation is a celebration of His love.

Please join us!  Opportunities for you to participate would include:

• Kerygma Encounter Retreats - These retreats are a day spent proclaiming the mysteries of our God and his great plan for you.  Short catechesis is provided together with multiple prayer times. These are great for renewing your faith or for parishes seeking to prepare individuals for work as catechists or for engaged couples as part of the Marriage Catechumenate. Register Here.
• Building Domestic Church - Our Sunday morning sessions geared toward helping families live a life centered on Jesus.
• Adult Bible Studies - throughout the year on Mondays (AM and PM sessions)
