Welcome
We take seriously the challenge of Pope Francis' call to "always be a place of mercy and hope, where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven." You will discover that St. Joseph Parish is a vibrant parish where each person in our parish community and each guest that visits us are seen as a gift from God.
St. Joseph Parish encourages each of its members to participate fully in the amazing liturgies and the inspiring Sacramental life of the parish. Come and listen to our lectors proclaim the Scriptures boldly and our music ministry inspire us in song. Watch our altar servers serve with servant hearts, our ushers assist people cheerfully, and our deacons and priests lead our parish with hearts modeled after Jesus Christ, the Good Sheperd. If you feel a call to be a minister at Mass, do not hesitate to ask one of the clergy or parish staff how you can help serve our parish as a minister.
St. Joseph has emboldened its members to be leaders in the world and to selflessly give of themselves. Our parish's St. Vincent DePaul Society helps the poor, not only finacially, but also spiritually by reminding them that each of them is made in the image of God. Some members of our parish have answered the call to feed the hungry by assisting at different food pantries and area soup kitchens. Still other parishioners assist the homeless through a program called "Room at the Inn." We provide assistance to our brothers and sisters in the inner city through our "Giving Sunday" program and at Christmas time we ensure an entire small rural town has a blessed Christmas.
We all know that we cannot do this without Jesus, and so we are a parish that also strives hard to help each memember improve his or her own personal relationship with the Lord. We have many adult faith opportunities including ACTS retreats, the Stephen Ministry Program, and other Bible Studies.
Finally, we are a parish that takes passing our faith on to the next generation seriously. Our Parish Early Childhood Learning Center, Full-Time School, and Parish School of Religion, all excel at helping children grow in their faith. Our High School youth ministry program provides teens an encouraging faith community to help guide them through their exciting high school years.
