Grotto
The Grotto in St. Joseph Cemetery is a wonderful place to celebrate Mass in nature or to sit in quiet reflection.
Remember St. Joseph Parish in your Estate Plans
As stewards of God’s gifts, we have opportunities to provide lasting legacies. Imagine the possibilities if every parishioner remembered St. Joseph Church,
whatever the gift amount, in their estate plans. We are often solicited by our alma maters, area museums, nationwide non-profit health related organizations,
and many other non-profit organizations to remember them in our estate plans.
The Church and its ministries, as an important part of our parishioners lives, should be at the forefront of their thoughts when designing their estate plans. Your gift to St. Joseph Church is appreciated and will be used in accordance to your wishes. For more information, call the Rectory at 815-727-9378.
