Loving Christ, Loving Others
As living members of the Body of Christ, the people of
St. Joseph Parish embrace the Traditions of the Church
as given to us by Christ.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit we teach, live, and love one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, and celebrate the Word of God as a faith-filled community that welcomes all who seek the truth. We celebrate the presence of God in our midst through worship, service, and catechesis. In accordance with the teachings of the Church, we work to assist all parish members in discerning the truths of our faith and the moral obligation to which we are called to live the Gospel.
SCAM ALERT!
Cyber crime has hit St. Joseph and is hitting dioceses nationwide. If/when you receive an email from Fr. John requesting you to purchase a gift card or to urgently contact him via email, please delete it! It is a scam! This email scam is also using other priests’ names in the diocese asking for money or gift cards. Parishioners should contact the parish office to verify the legitimacy of any suspicious request they may receive.
