Sometime in September, 1997, a group of encountered couples originally from the Sacred Heart of Jesus Prayer Group was inspired by the Lord to organize a new prayer group. They are the following: Willy-Tess Abcede, Manny-Meldy Baylon, Joey-Mitos Doydora, Rolly-Vicky Enesio, Louie-Nini Guerra, Gil-Jo Salvador, Rocky-Beloy Tatlonghari and Ponching(+) & Linda(+) Gorecho. Since these couples are office workers in Makati, they scouted for possible prayer meeting venue within the area. But just like St. Joseph, they also experienced rejection as they approached several parishes such as the Greenbelt Chapel, St. Andrew’s in Bel-air, Sts. Peter and Paul in Burgos and some other parishes in the Bangkal area. It was not an easy task but the group never gave up. Organizational meetings were held in various places such as, the Street Life Café in Glorietta, the canteen of Tito Ponching(+) & Tita Linda (+) in Buendia, the office of Tito Willy in Campos Rueda Bldg. The Lord finally led them to their home at Don Bosco Parish Church in Pasay Road, when its then Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Gerry Battad approved their request. A new prayer group was then born. Upon the recommendation of Tita Meldy Baylon, it was named after St. Joseph to give identity to its members who are mostly office workers in Makati.

The St. Joseph The Worker Prayer Group (SJWPG) was formally launched with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist officiated by Rev. Fr. Paul Marquez of the Society of St. Paul on October 7, 1997. It marked the first formal prayer meeting of the new group. The following year, the Hearts of Jesus and Mary Prayer Community approved the application of SJW to be a regular prayer group. Its inaugural mass was held on December 1, 1998. Since then, regular prayer meetings are held every Tuesday at Room 206, St. John Bosco Parish Building, Arnaiz Avenue, Makati City.
