Young Adult Ministry

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. 

If you are an Adult between the ages of 21-35 and are interested in being updated with F.U.E.L.’s upcoming events, please email [email protected].

FUEL Young Adult Ministry welcomed new and returning faces at our February Monthly Meeting – “Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving” held at Our Lady of Mercy Church in Park Ridge! We would like to thank our guest speaker Deacon Andy Zucaro for joining us. At this meeting, we were able to collect $400 from our free-will offering for Holy Family Farm, which provides an opportunity for men ages 18 – 30 to prayerfully discern and decide their “next step” in life. We were also able to collect prom attire, which will be donated to our prom dress/suit drive!
