Jesus, however, called the children to himself and said, "Let the children come to me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it."
Luke 18:17-18

We warmly welcome children of all ages to St. Joe.  They are an important part of our faith community.  We provide several formation opportunites for children during the year and in the summertime, including:

Children's Catechetical Development (CCD)
September-May

Vacation Bible School
June

RCIA for Children
For children who have not been baptized in the Catholic Church

In addition to the programs listed above, children are also invited to participate in Children's Liturgy of the Word at the 10:00am Mass each Sunday.
