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 broth-
ers 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.”
