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.

Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

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 to St. Rocco
O Great St. Rocco,
deliver us, we
beseech thee,
from the scourges
of God; through
thy intercession,
preserve our bodies
from contagious
diseases, and
our souls from
the contagion of
sin. Obtain for us
salubrious air; but
above all purity
of heart.
Amen.
St. Rocco is the
patron saint
of epidemics
and the
gravely ill.
