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.”
