When you visit
Focus on Vatican II
Vatican II brought significant changes to the Catholic Church, emphasizing the importance of partnership between clergy and the laity, liturgical renewal, and a more active participation in the Mass. At St. Joseph, we embrace these principles, striving to create a worship experience that is inclusive, engaging, and spiritually enriching.Visitors are always welcome at St. Joseph. We try hard to help people feel comfortable in our community. Join us for Mass and, on most Sundasys, come down to the Social Hall for refreshments and conversation.
We understand the many thoughts that can come from visiting a new church, so we want you to feel completely comfortable when you visit. Below are some frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us or talk with an usher when you visit.

We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! However, we do request that shorts be of a conservative length (no “short-shorts”) and that in general, clothing be respectable and conservative.

There is a family room available at St. Joseph that is also being utilized by immune compromised individuals when needed. The family room is the Sacristy (after the conclusion of confessions) accessed through the door near the statue of the Blessed Mother.
During many of our Sunday Masses during the school year there is Children's Liturgy of the Word, where young people listen to a children's version of the day's Gospel, learn about God's love, and do fun activities.
-
Communion, or the Eucharistic Bread, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is transformed through the liturgy into the body of Christ, present to us in more than just a symbolic way. Out of respect for our beliefs, we ask that you not receive communion if you do not share this understanding.

If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money in the offering, and you are welcome to just let it pass you by. If you consider St. Joseph your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to our parish on a weekly basis. You can give by check or cash during the service, or you can sign up for online giving here.
