What is St. Joe´s ¡YA!?
St. Joe's ¡YA! is the Young Adult Ministry at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Modesto, CA. It purpose is to embrace, encourage, and bring together young adults (20-35 year-olds) to live in Christ from where they are now in their lives without judgments. It is a community of young Catholic adults who are working at finding their way through live and at getting to know Jesus more as they strive towards holiness.
The two pictures above are the groups chosen patron saints: St. Thérèse de Lisieux and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. Both were inspiring young adults who, even though they died young, did a lot to inspire future young adults. St. Thérèse is well known as she is a Doctor of the Catholic Church, the youngest, but Bl. Pier Giorgio, in spite of his many actions in his short life, is not well known yet in the United States. If you would like to know more about him, come to one of our meetings or visit the website dedicated to him by clicking here.
The group meets on the first and third Saturdays each month, some times to meet and greet as in the picture above and other times to go on pilgrimage to sites that are driving distance from Modesto or to do services activities in the Modesto area. Check out the upcoming events page to see activities/trips planned.
