The mission of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church is the sharing of the Good News of Jesus Christ and the growth of its members in the divine life of the Lord. We, the people of God, who belong to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church envision this mission to be accomplished in the following principal areas:

Liturgical Life, Spiritual Life, Family Life, Religious Education, Evangelization, Social Service, Ecumenism and Interfaith relations and Administration.

Liturgical Life is the celebration of Christ’s redeeming love as shown for us in His passion, death, and resurrection. This mystery unifies the members of Christ’s community on two levels: the relationship of the community with Christ and the community with each other.

Spiritual Life is a growing union with the Lord based upon the sacramental life and religious values of the Roman Catholic faith. St. Joseph’s Parish members are encouraged to hold this union as the highest goal in all aspects of life.

Family life is the shared experience of Christian love, lived in accordance with the Church’s teachings. St. Joseph’s Parish supports ail programs on the local, diocesan and national level which enhance the dignity and quality of family life.

Religious Education is catechetical instruction: which makes a person’s faith become living, conscious and active. Embracing the teachings of our faith, emphasizing the study of the Church’s dogmas, the sacraments, Christian prayer and worship and the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. St. Joseph’s Parish will foster and understanding that catechesis is a life-long process for the individual by encouraging participation in programs of religious education at all age levels.

Evangelization is a systematic outreach to proclaim the Gospel of Christ and invite others to share our Catholic parish life.

Social Service is the meeting of the social and material needs of our parish, community and world especially as expressed in the Corporal Works of Mercy. (Matthew 25:31-40)
