Join us as we embark on an exciting five-day journey with Jesus, and make the church year come alive!
The Great Journey with Jesus vacation bible school program is specially designed to help children discover the life of Christ and draw closer to Him through the cycle of the church year. Children will have fun learning and celebrating the importance of Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent/Holy Triduum and Easter.
Each day will include songs, skits, crafts, snack, faith lessons, and games. On Friday, the program ends with a closing celebration to share what the kids have learned throughout the week.
Enrollment for St. Joseph's registered parishioners opens on April 8, 2026. If you are not a registered parishioner, you can email DRE@stjral.org to add your child(ren) to the waitlist. On May 11, 2026, registration opens for non-parishioners with the waitlisted children having priority enrollment. Registration closes on June 3, 2026, or when all spots are filled, whichever comes first.
The first 30 families to register will receive a free digital access to the VBS music.
