What is the Career Ministry?
SJPII’s Career Ministry is a parishioner-led mentoring ministry designed to support our fellow brothers and sisters seeking permanent or part-time employment due to job loss, a desire or need for a job change, and recent graduates ready to begin their careers.
Our Objective: To provide professional and spiritual support, advice, insight, career coaching, and professional networking to job seekers.
Our Desired Outcome: Ministry participants will develop increased confidence and refined, focused job search skills that will appropriately position them to secure their desired positions during these challenging, uncertain times in their lives
Who Are We?
Our Career Ministry is a collaborative group of dedicated volunteers who, guided by faith, want to provide assistance to all job seekers in our community who are:
-
Unemployed or underemployed
-
Currently employed but seeking to do better
-
Recent graduates seeking their first professional position
-
Retirees with a desire to re-enter the work community
All are welcome! You do not need to be a member of SJPII or Catholic to attend.
We also welcome parishioners who are presently employed, or those who are retired, that have a desire to mentor others by sharing their professional or personal experiences in areas including:
-
Professional networking

Subject matter experts for specific job searches
-
Specialized skills from previous career experiences
-
Employment-based coaching and career advice
-
Cultivating the confidence and focus needed for success
