The Youth Ministry Program is a joint-parish effort between St. Mary's Visitation in Elm Grove and St. Joseph 's Congregation in Wauwatosa . Targeting youth from 7th to 12th grade, this program connects nearly nine hundred youth from over a dozen different middle, grade, and high schools. With a clear focus on social, spiritual, and service programming, various opportunities are offered year-round from field trips and community service activities to youth Masses and mission trips. Within this age range, the Youth Ministry Program also oversees the 9th and 10th grade Religious Education Classes (REC) and the Confirmation Program (for high school juniors). Together we form, inform, and transform lives for Christ.
