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.

"The more Eucharist we receive, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on earth we will have a foretaste of heaven."

SCAM ALERT!

Cyber crime has hit St. Joseph and is hitting dioceses nationwide. If/when you receive an email from Fr. Tim 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.

  • Prayer for Those Considering an Abortion

    Heavenly Father, You who breathe life into creation by the power of the Holy Spirit, and make each and every person in Your image and likeness, send forth the Holy Spirit anew upon those who are contemplating an abortion. Dispel their fears, comfort them in sorrow, and grant them courage to choose to bring forth this new life into the world, which is a precious gift from You.


    Provide for them love and support from those around them to help ease the burden they carry at this time. Help them to see the light of Your face and Your joy. Delight in them and their child, and grant them a spirit of wisdom and understanding to direct their path.  Amen.


    Mother Mary,          

    You experienced misunderstanding for your unexpected pregnancy. Pray for your children who are contemplating an abortion. Intercede for them before the throne of God that they might have the grace to give life to their children, and teach them how to give of themselves in self-sacrificial love as you did.

    We ask this through Christ our Lord.

    Amen.

  • Prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory

    Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

 Respect
