Welcome to our
Family and Children's Ministry!
Here in Grande Prairie, AB you will find a young and growing community. This could not be more evident and present at St. Joseph Parish. With over 4100 families registered in our parish, there are so many ways for your family to join in our community life.
Our Family and Children’s programs aim to make community connections, to help families become active participants in the sacraments and liturgy, and support parents their roles as “first teachers of the faith.”
