The Mission of Saint Joseph's To follow Jesus Christ as His Disciples through Joyful Worship, Sacred Study, Christian Action, and Community Life, In the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Saint Joseph's Episcopal Church, aka "the

little church with the big red doors", is located on Main Street between Ninth and Iredell

Streets in Durham, NC, across from Duke University's East Campus. Our community life

is rooted in the sacraments; daily prayer;

study of the Scriptures; and fellowship with members, friends and neighbors inside and outside our walls. Following the example of

our patron Saint Joseph, we want to make

our church home a place of warm hospitality grounded in God's love, and to take that love

out into the world.

Opportunities for ministry

Saint Joseph's has many opportunities for ministries. We need people to lead Morning/Evening Prayer, singers of all ranges for the choir, members of the altar guild, folks with a green thumb to hep love our garden, someone to coordinate our ushers and greeters. If any of these appeal to you, please talk with Karen. If you see a ministry that needs doing that is not on the list, talk with Karen too and create your own ministry. Thanks!.

Saint Joseph's Food Drive

Please remember our daily Breakfast Fellowship when you do your grocery shopping. We can always use bread, grits, eggs, orange juice, coffee, cheese and magarine in the morning. We have been averaging over twenty people Monday through Friday. Join us in the parish hall after Morning Prayer some day!

We also like to keep on hand some Food Essentials to hand out when needed - that is easily heated canned foods (chunky soups, macaroni cheese, ravioli, etc).

Monthly "essentials" drive

Imagine not being able to obtain the everday essentials that most of us take for granted.

On the first Sunday of each month we collect simple items such as toilet tissue, diapers (sizes 4 and 5) and toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrushes etc.). Please help us help Durham Urban Ministries make life a little more comfortable for those struggling to provide these basics for their families.

From the description: “Christ Room” is a short documentary about the Maurin House Catholic Worker community in Durham, NC. Also known as the Community of the Franciscan Way, Maurin House strives to create hospitality among students, families, and formerly homeless people by fostering friendship that “transcends the alienating differences between the privileged and the poor.” Learn more at cfw.dionc.org
