Happening now at Saint Joseph...

Word of God Sunday

On January 22/23, the 3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, we will celebrate the Sunday of the Word of God, implemented by Pope Francis in September 2019 in his apostolic letter, Aperuit Illis. All are invited to bring a Bible from home for a blessing. Since every home is a "domestic Church," you can also use this prayer service to enthrone your Bible at home, asking that the enthroned Bible remind us that God teaches, encourages, and challenges us through its open pages.

Open Training for Lectors and Ushers
During the last two weekends in January, there will be training for liturgical ministries following each of our weekend Masses. We are in need of volunteers! Please stay after Mass for a brief training with our Director of Music and Liturgy, Theresa Slott. You can contact her with questions at tslott@stjoeparish.com. Jan 22/23 - Lectors; Jan 29/30 - Ushers.

Weekly Adoration

Saint Joseph Church offers Eucharistic Adoration each Thursday from 7:30am to 9:00pm. We need at least two people for every time slot to ensure that there are always people in the church throughout the vigil. To sign up for a time slot each week, please follow the links below.
