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.  Email us.

Novena to St. Joseph & Holy Hour

Our parish monthly Eucharistic Holy Hour will include a

Novena to St. Joseph on Tuesday,  December 10th at

6 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 December 10th.

though no one

remembers exactly how it

happened, the

unthinkable

becomes tolerable. 

And then acceptable. 

And then legal.

And then  applaudable."
