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.

Novena to St. Joseph & Holy Hour

Our parish monthly Eucharistic Holy Hour will include a Novena

to St. Joseph on Tuesday, August 7th, at 6:00 PM.

Our parish patron, St. Joseph, is the patron of the Universal Church. Having died in the "arms of Jesus and Mary" according to Catholic tradition, he is considered the model of the pious believer who receives grace at the moment of death, in other words, the patron of a happy death. St. Joseph is also the patron saint of families, fathers, workers and those seeking employment, against doubt & hesitation, cemetery workers, among many other causes.

All are invited to join us in this monthly Novena to

St. Joseph and Holy Hour on August 7th.
