Parents & Guardians
In the Event of an Emergency:
Our 2026 Religious Education year is slated to start this September. If your children have reached the age of 7 and have not studied for and received the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation, now is the time to sign them up for instruction to begin this Fall. Classes are held on Sunday morning between the 9 o’clock Mass and the 11:45 am Mass. That allows you to have your children attend Religious Education and to attend Mass as well. We have very fine dedicated instructors in place to help your children learn their Faith and to prepare them for their Sacraments. If your child has reached the teen years and has not received their Sacraments, not to worry, we have a very dynamic couple providing instruction for them.
At your earliest convenience, please go to our St. Joseph website to download the necessary application under RE Program. You can also pick one up at our church office between 9am and 1pm, Monday through Friday. Peace, Deacon Charley
REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER MASS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND TO ASSIST WITH SIGN UP
All of our choirs are looking to welcome new members who want to share the gifts that God has given them.
Please, speak with any music person at the Mass you attend if you feel called to serve.
Almighty and eternal God, in your unfailing love you provide ministers for your Church. We pray for those whom you call to serve the Church as priests.
Inspire in them a generous response. Grant them courage and vision to serve your people May their lives and service call your people to respond to the presence of your Spirit among us that, faithful to the Gospel and hope of Jesus the Christ, we may: announce glad tidings to the poor proclaim liberty to captives, set prisoners free and renew the face of the earth.
