Welcome to Our Parish
Here at St. Joseph’s we grow as “stewards” of God’s gifts to us, we try to recognize the many ways in which God has blessed us and to respond by giving thanks not only with our words but by the way we celebrate our faith and live our lives. This enables us to deepen our understanding of what the Gospel message means in our lives today.

Based on recent government instructions the Church will now be CLOSED AT ALL TIMES for public safety.
