Welcome

Lenten Prayer for Youth

     Lord God, this holy season of Lent is a time for me to do penance.  My Jesus, You did penance for the whole world by Your death on the Cross.  Men whipped Your sacred Body.  They crowned You with big thorns, which were driven into Your sacred head.  They made You carry the Cross up the hill of Calvary.  For three long hours You hung upon the Cross with spikes driven through Your feet and hands.  You thirsted for souls.  You shed your precious Blood for the entire world and for me.  During all Your sufferings, You saw my personal sins also.  You suffered for me.

     My Jesus, You said to each one of us, "Unless you take up your cross and follow Me, you cannot be My disciple."  You also said, "Unless you do penance, you will all likewise perish."  I cannot save my soul unless I do penance.  Every Friday is a special day of penance in union with You, Jesus, for the forty days of Lent.

     My Jesus, I unite my special Lenten prayers and sacrifices for Your holy sufferings this Lent.  Give me strength not to weaken or give up.  I want to keep my will strong and do penance in Your love without fail.  I shall keep carrying the cross and rise with You on Easter Sunday.  Amen.

St. Joe's Youth Rocks!

With the new year comes new hopes, new dreams, new opportunities to grow in our faith.  We resolve this year to bring your faith goals to a reality.  Make sure to continue to attend our weekly programs for youth.  Youth Night is our high school program which meets on Wednesdays at 7PM and  ThE EDGE is is our weekly middle school program (6-8 grades) which meets on Sunday nights at 7PM.

Why do youth keep participating in these weekly events and so much more at St. Joe's?  It's because Jesus calls us to be involved and when we answer that call, it makes us feel GREAT!

If you visit this sight often, you will stay connected with the coolest parish in the Diocese of Fort Worth.  Together, we are building the Body of Christ one youth at a time!
