Service
"YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE POOR WITH YOU"...and this is true of our Parish. We are blessed to serve the homeless who congregate at and around St Joe's. Please introduce yourself to them and help them in any way God leads you. We only ask parishioners not to give them cash while on church grounds, and not to continue any interaction in which you feel unsafe.
Serving those in need is also an important part of our life at St. Joseph's. While St. Joseph's is not a, "programmatic" size church, we still care for those around us. Over the years we have also sponsored foster children, helped build Habitat for Humanity houses, driven for Meals on Wheels, and visited the local retirement home across the street from the parish. Because St. Joseph's is a small parish, we realize that most of our mission is sending out our parishoners into their daily activities of home and work to, "seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves."
