Come on! Do you need an invitation? Okay, parish youth are invited to join the Youth Ministry. A variety of activities are offered to give youth a well-rounded social experience that includes exploring faith issues and opportunities for service.

Please contact the Youth Faith Formation Office via email at [email protected] or phone at 505.244.2154 for more information.

A new school year is upon us and St. Joseph’s YFF is excited to welcome you! There are many changes going on here at the Nazareth Center. With God’s grace, this year’s classes will benefit from those changes. 

We are now accepting enrollments for 2022-2023 faith formation students of all ages. Come to the Nazareth Center to fill out enrollment forms and sign the permission/health forms which are necessary. Please bring the Sacramental certificates (Baptism, Reconciliation, and First Holy Eucharist) of the youth to be enrolled, we will make an official copy for future years and be sure to enter the data into the Archdiocese Parish Soft system.

The fee this year is $35/youth if enrolled before August 1st, and $45/youth from August 1st on.

Please come early! 

The number at the Nazareth Center is (505) 244-2154 and we will be present to answer/return calls throughout the week. Though it may not have been an effective means of communication in the past, it will be going forward.

Our office hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily.

We will be having an open house here at the Nazareth Center for our St. Joseph on the Rio Grande faith community on Sunday, July 16th from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. We will have donuts and coffee available, some catechists present, and the classrooms open for everyone to see the materials we will be using this year. Come meet the volunteers who make YFF possible.

Flocknotes will continue to be an important means of communication. The URL for our Flocknotes group is:

Please be sure you are connected with us this way so as not to miss any pertinent information. We will be using E-mails as well as texts.

We will continue to follow the guidelines and policies of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. Your children are God’s children and thus are EXTREMELY important to us. We will do everything in our power to lead the youth of St. Joseph’s parish AND their families to Christ. Keep our team in your prayers as we pray for you, our faith community.
