At Saint Joseph the Worker Parish, ministries under Faith Formation and Spiritual Growth are dedicated to deepening our relationship with Jesus Christ and forming disciples who are rooted in the Catholic faith. These ministries accompany parishioners of all ages in growing in knowledge, prayer, and commitment to living the Gospel in everyday life. Faith formation is not simply about learning information—it is about transformation. It invites every person to encounter Christ personally and grow as a member of His Church.
These ministries include programs such as Family Catechesis, Adult Faith Formation, OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults), Bible Studies, Retreats and Prayer Groups, and Youth Ministry. Whether you are a parent raising children in the faith, a lifelong Catholic seeking renewal, or someone exploring Catholicism for the first time, there is a place for you to be formed and supported in your journey.
Spiritual growth goes hand in hand with formation. Through regular prayer opportunities such as Eucharistic Adoration, Marian Devotions, and Seasonal Missions, our parish invites each person to deepen their interior life and discover the unique call God has placed upon them. Together, these ministries help us move from a passive understanding of faith to an active, missionary discipleship. Formation and spiritual growth are not optional extras—they are how we become the Church that Christ calls us to be: renewed, sent, and on fire with the Holy Spirit.
