St.Joseph's Catholic Church

 We are a Community of Faith, called by Jesus Christ to become His hands,
His feet, His heart, reaching out in love to each other, to our families,
to our neighbors, to our nation and to the world.
 

IMPORTANT UPDATE!! - For the protection of everyone, the church doors will be locked for the time being.  Adoration and drop-in will no longer be available.  It is believed the worst of the Corona virus will peak in the next couple weeks.  We will re-open the instant it is feasible. Fr. Bob
(note) this weeks bulletin went to press prior to the decision to close the church.  Any reference to being able to go into the Church, is no longer current.
