Welcome
from Fr. John Greb on January 1, 2012
We welcome you to St. Joseph Catholic Church and website.
We are a well established yet growing Catholic parish that was founded in 1969. We are a diverse, multi-ethnic and multi-generational community. We are also a faithful Catholic parish that is centered on the Lord in the Holy Eucharist, both in the Sacred Liturgy of the Mass and in Eucharistic Adoration. One of the many highlights of our parish is that we offer Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, meaning that one can come and pray in the Real Presence of our Lord at any time, day or night, and we have over three hundred people involved in this type of worship.
This parish also offers many other types of ministries for active disciples of the Lord: we have three very active ministries for men, two for women, a ministry of healing prayer, Sanctity of Life Ministry, and St. Vincent de Paul that all meet and serve here, just to name a few. Please feel free to check our online bulletin and webpage to see the complete list of the many ministries found here in the parish.
Our Parish Mission Statement says that this particular Catholic Church endeavors to continue the mission of Christ, which is the salvation of souls. We need your help to assist us in this mission. Won’t you come and join us as we strive to fulfill the Lord’s call to be his disciples for the sake of his mission?
Thank you and God bless you,
Fr. John L. Greb
Pastor, St. Joseph Catholic Church
