Hello everyone!
If you are receiving this newsletter that means your child is in St. Joseph's youth ministry! We are Sam Shepard and McKenzie Neu, parishioners from St. Joseph's and your youth ministers! We are so excited to serve as part of this beautiful community.
High school youth nights are called Journey and middle school youth nights are called Ignite. These will be times for growth, fun, and fellowship. Read for more information on the activities coming up.
We will be sending weekly newsletters to keep you up to date on the fun and exciting things we have going on. We can't wait to meet each of you and your youth!
Thank you and God Bless!
-Sam and McKenzie
