Our Mission
To come to know our Heavenly Father and His love more deeply, through Jesus Christ His Son, and to reflect that love in works for others, through the grace of the Holy Spirit. Our efforts find completion in the commitment and cooperation of the parents who are always first and foremost educators of their children. We strive to empower our students and their families as they embrace their Catholic faith and live their faith through authentic discipleship.

Church Registration — A Parish is a community of believers and a spiritual family that is supportive and loving. Please ensure that you are registered at the church where you attend Mass, so that you have a spiritual home. Parish registration is essential for anyone who wishes to be a Godparent/Sponsor for a Baptism or for Confirmation. To register at St. Joseph Church, please follow the Newcomers tab on
the Parish website.
