Registration

(To register please call 301.663.0907, email our Parish Office, or stop by.)

        • Tuition amounts are shown in the payment section of the registration form. No one will ever be turned away based on inability to pay. Please contact our Parish Office to learn more.
        • Attendance: Your child’s Faith Formation is important! One way to communicate this importance of our relationship with Jesus is attendance in class. Only three unexcused absences will be allowed in a given year. If your child has more than three unexcused absences, he or she will be unprepared and unable to receive the Sacraments that or the following year (whichever applies).
        • Bad Weather Cancellation:  St. Joseph follows the Frederick County Public Schools.  If schools are closed or close early due to inclement weather then Faith and Life are canceled.

PRAYER FOR YOUTH

We offer to you, Loving God, the gifts and needs of youth.
Bless them with your guiding grace
as they face the challenges and opportunities in their lives.
Touch their hearts with the gentleness of your love,
that they may know they are valued and valuable beings.
Send your spirit of hope to their lives,
that they may believe in themselves
and know they are needed in this world.
Grace them with the gift of joy
that they may celebrate life through laughter and tears alike.
Guide us, as we continue to grow in appreciation
of the many gifts of young people,
in the ministry opportunities we offer to them,
in the journey of faith we walk with them,
in our shared mission as a community
called to discipleship in the world.
We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
