SERVING JESUS WHOLLY
"For the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give His life
as a ransom for many."
~ Mark 10:45
Serving the youth of St. Joseph, Holy Family, St. William and our communities. Our mission is to help our youth build a relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, worship, learning and service.
The Diocese of Crookston is excited to kick off the 2024-2025 year of youth formation with the annual Diocese of Crookston Youth Conference.
The theme of the conference is FISH. By virtue of our baptism, we are called to bring the good news – the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to the world around us. Pope Francis reminds us often of this baptismal call to missionary discipleship. For us, this call is a clear echo of the invitation Jesus made to a small group of ordinary fishermen two-thousand years ago, when he said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men (Matthew 4:19)”.
The day will be filled with many excellent, passionate speakers, including Bishop Andrew Cozzens, Brian Greenfield, Sister Elfie Del Rosario, FMA, Father Bryan Kujawa, Hope Bach, and the Bethany House Missionaries. The Jon Martin Band will lead us with music, praise and worship throughout the day, including adoration and Mass.JAMAICA 2025
Join us the summer of 2025 in Jamaica as we build a little blue house for a family, bring food baskets to the hungry and give hope and help "to the least of these" ~ Matt. 25:35-45. You will experience the chance to show the love of Jesus and receive love in a way you can only do serving those in need. If you are looking for a way to step out of your comfort zone and to completely give of yourself contact Terry Steen at the St. Joseph's parish office. Dates for 2025 are TBA. A non-refundable $100 registration fee is required to hold your spot.
