Confirmation 2 Service Project By: Thomas Russell

Service Which ministry I joined: St.Joseph Workshop. Why: I joined St. Joseph's workshop because it was a form of service that I liked more than the others. I had gone to St. Joseph’s prior to being in Confirmation and decide since we were told to join a service this one seemed the most convenient. I found it convenient because I knew some of the people already, my grandfather was an active member, and best of all it worked with my schedule because I am a student athlete and I already have a busy schedule so it was extremely convenient for me.
