How It All Started

 

Back in 1992, many people of St. Joseph the Worker Church noticed that their 

young parishioners were not involved in any youth groups.  At that time,  their 

was no group for young people between the ages of twelve and fourteen.  

They were too young to be involved with Unity, which was more high-school based 

and they were too old to be a part of CWA (Christians With Attitudes), which was 

for younger children.  A few parishioners came together and started what is know 

known as IMPACT.  A youth group that is geared towards 7th & 8th graders to  

help deepen their relationship with God.

 

IMPACT's Highlights

IMPACT is based on Holistic ideas, meaning that they don't just do one thing 

but they incorporate their six values into everything they do.
