Mission

The San Jose Middle School Youth Ministry Program is for youth in grades 6th-8th.

Our Mission is to provide a variety of opportunities for teenagers to grow emotionally, spirituality and socially into healthy productive members of the Body of Christ.  Our belief is that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  Our prayer is that the youth may come to own this belief and live their lives accordingly.  Our hope we as a community be an example to our youth through our love and our actions.

The San José Youth Ministry Program provides adolescents opportunities to grow emotionally and spiritually through prayer and worship, religious education, service to the community, participation in social justice, and peace events.  Parents have an opportunity to take part in their youths’ religious training through participation in the Mass and community services projects and ministries.  Parents are also encouraged to volunteer to help out in a least one event through out the year.

Youth Ministry Staff

Is staffed by dedicated volunteers, who receive instruction training throughout the year.  They are under the direction of the Director of Youth Ministries.  The volunteers are San Jose parishioners who come to the program with some or no experience.  They volunteer to be teachers and teacher assistants.  Some have degrees and some do not.  They are loving and caring individuals who want to serve God by ministering to the youth.
 
We are always looking for volunteers wanting to help at the Religious Education monthly Breakfasts (2nd Sunday of each month), help chaperoning the youth at on field trips, or other types of activities.  Bus drivers (CDL plus passenger endorsement) are needed to drive the youth to activities in town or out of Austin.
