The Youth Ministry of St. Joseph’s Church, La Puente, invites high school youth to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ so they may know His merciful, infinite love for them. We commit ourselves to prayer–culminating in our active participation in the Mass and the Sacraments–and to creating a welcoming community that teaches, empowers, and recreates together. Transformed by God’s love, we strive to be missionary disciples by sharing our Catholic faith with those in our families, parish community, schools, and local city. We entrust ourselves and our mission to the loving protection of Mary, Queen of the Angels, and to the patronage of St. Joseph.

From the moment of our founding in 1882, charity has been the first principle of the Knights of Columbus. We are men of faith and men of action.
Our charitable activities encompass an almost infinite variety of local, national and international projects. From international charitable partnerships with Special Olympics, the Global Wheelchair Mission and Habitat for Humanity to our own Food for Families and Coats for Kids projects and other local charities, the opportunity to work together with fellow Knights and their families is virtually endless.
“We are answering Pope Francis’ call to go to the peripheries,” Supreme Knight Carl Anderson said. “We can reach half way around the globe to help those in need and we can reach to our neighbor next door. And we do that every day. That makes us witnesses to the faith.”
If you’d like to be a part of an international organization of nearly 2 million Catholic men whose principal work involves helping others in need, we’d like to meet you and invite you to join us.
Sundays at 11:30 am in room 8
From TREATISE by St. Louis Marie de Montfort
1. True devotion to the Blessed Virgin is interior – that is, it comes from the mind and from the heart. Its source in us is the esteem in which we hold the Blessed Virgin, the exalted idea we have formed of her greatness and the love we cherish for her. 2. True devotion is the tender, that is full of trust in the Blessed Virgin, like the confidence a child has in its mother. It leads us to have recourse to her in all our needs of body and of soul and to do so with great simplicity, confidence and tenderness. We look to this good Mother for help in all our needs, at all times, in all circumstances… 3. True devotion to the Blessed Virgin is holy – that is, it leads us to avoid sin and to imitate her, especially in her then principal virtues: her profound humility; her lively faith; her unquestioning obedience; her unceasing prayer; her all-embracing mortification; her incomparable purity; her ardent charity; her heroic patience; her angelic sweetness; and her divine wisdom.

In 1866 Pope Pius IX entrusted the original icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help to the Redemptorists, asking them to “make her known throughout the world.” No other image offers us more possibility of meditation on the heart of the Gospel message than the icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. This icon is truly the Gospel in image form.

The Mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
Members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (or “Vincentians”) are men and women who strive to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to individuals in need. Our members come in every shade of skin color, young and old. Some of us are wealthy, some are financially poor, but all of us are blessed with an awareness that our blessings (time, talent, or treasure) are to be shared with our brothers and sisters in need.
