St. Joseph’s Young Adult Ministry, FUEL (Faithfully United in Eucharistic Life), embraces all members of the community ages 21-35 by FUELing and nurturing their relationship with God. Through Christian fellowship and understanding God’s Word and teachings, young adults will have the opportunity to recognize each other’s strengths, talents, and abilities to use them for God’s purpose and good work for the future of our Church.
