CCD & Opportunities for Youth

K-8 CCD Program and k4j (3-6 year olds)
We at St. Mary and St. Joseph are honored that you, as parents and primary catechists of your children, are considering us to help with their catechetical formation. Our role is to assist and support you by helping your children grow in their understanding and application of the Catholic faith. We strive to offer an engaging experience that pushes your children deeper in their knowledge of and love for Christ and His Church. Our program includes periodic Mass and confession opportunities as well as Sacramental preparation. Adults are invited to be volunteer teachers for CCD. No experience is required; just come with your passion for our kids and our faith! Our CCD classes take place during the school year on Wednesdays from 6:00-7:15pm.
Join us for our Kids for Jesus (K4J) program for 3-6 year olds each third Wednesday of each month of the school year from 6:00-7:15pm for an evening of age-appropriate faith formation, fun games, and meaningful play. Children will grow in friendship with one another and deepen their love for Jesus in a nurturing, faith-filled environment.For more information:

9-12 Youth GroupAt the beginning of our experience of adulthood, high school is a crucial time of change in life. Teenagers start to re-evaluate their tradition, their personal value and their worldview. At St. Mary and St. Joseph, we want to guide them to bring to light their experience, and help them see it anew through the truthful and merciful eyes of Christ, who calls them friends.
To guide high schoolers on their journey, we invite all teenagers to join in this friendship with Christ and with each other by joining St. Mary and St. Joseph's HS youth group. Meetings for the 2025-2026 school year will be held Sundays (time TBD) during the school year.
