St Joseph’s is a parish of over 1100 families and I invite you to explore our website. Our parish is a welcoming one, and we truly want everyone to feel at home here.

You can find many of our contacts on the staff page here on our website or ask our parish office (483-3772) for assistance. We want to offer as many opportunities for parishioners to come together in faith as possible.  

I pray that you may find warmth, encouragement and spiritual growth at St Joe’s and I look forward to getting to know you personally in the weeks and months ahead.  May God bless you and your family.
