Dear Friends,
What a blessing it is to serve as your pastor and to be a part of such an active and thriving faith community. As our parish grows, so do our ministries and opportunities for you to participate and serve our community.Â
I hope this website directory will help you learn more about our ministries and committees and ways to share your talents and gifts with the St. Joseph community. Your stewardship and active participation in parish life is vital to the continuing growth of our parish.
Statement of blessing…
Sincerely,
Fr. Jean Baptiste
Saint Joseph has 27 Ministries. Our parishioners are actively involved in a number of organizations and ministries, both directly connected with the parish and associated with other parishes and Christian groups. These groups provide support to our own lives in Christ and the opportunity to serve the broader Body of Christ and the world. Please check the parish bulletin regularly for opportunities to get involved.
"In dioceses, as far as possible, councils should be set up to assist the Church 's apostolic work whether in the field of evangelization and sanctification or in the fields of charity, social relations and the rest; the clergy and religious working with the laity in whatever way proves satisfactory. These councils can take care of mutual coordinating of the various lay associations and undertakings, the autonomy and particular nature of each remaining untouched. Such councils should be found too, if possible, at parochial, inter-parochial, inter-diocesan level, and also on the national and international plane " (Apostolicam actuositatem, 26).
