St. Joseph Parish Mission Statement
“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 commu-
nity 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.”

• Build a Mary garden
Prayer gardens allow a person time in solitude to contemplate,
pray, and meditate by reflecting on the sacred space that
includes specific flowers, statues, or grottos. Mary gardens
include flowers named after Our Lady, such as roses, lilies,
marigolds, Our Lady’s Tears, among other countless varieties.
If you have the space in your yard, carve out some time in the
summer to make this a family endeavor of transforming a
particular space into one that is dedicated to Mary. You can add
special touches, like benches and statues. Once it is complete,
pray a family rosary together and encourage everyone to spend
time as they wish to pray outside.
