Saint Joseph's Young Adults (SJYA) is a is a community of young adults, ages 18-39, dedicated to forming Christ-centered, life-giving relationships that combat and heal the culture of isolation.

Our mission is to be a place of authenticity where we can receive God’s love and give of ourselves. We live out this mission by offering events in three areas: Spiritual, Service, and Social.
