The Rosary:
Recited on Mondays at 11:40 a.m. in the church. It is also recited in the months of May and October at 6:30 p.m on Mondays by the Shrine. 

Votive/Sanctuary Candles:
Votive candles can be lit at the Pieta (Altar of Our Lady of Sorrows) in the Church Alcove, to the right of the Church entrance. To lessen the fire risk we use the glass candle holders that are more expensive. We therefore suggest a donation of at least $3 for every candle that is lit. You may leave your donation in the basket provided or in the metallic box on the wall. To request a sanctuary lamp for a week, please call the rectory.

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration:
Prayer is powerful! We participate in this great devotion both as individuals and as a community at the area Chapel of Perpetual Adoration at Holy Family Church. The chapel is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is a good opportunity to spend some quality time with the Lord. Contact the Rectory Office for more information. 

 

 


Parish Mission Statement

     We, the people of St. Joseph Parish Family, a Roman Catholic faith community, began our journey as a Slovak ethnic parish and continued by reaching out to and welcoming peoples of all nationalities and cultures. We are genuinely committed to a vision of working together to build up the kingdom of God within us, trusting in the Spirit’s guidance, believing in the goodness of one another and embodying the values of the Gospel.
     Trusting in the goodness of God and in His ever-present love for us, we desire in everything that we do to praise and thank Him and to share His gifts with all in faith, hope and love.

O GLORIOUS St. Joseph, you were chosen by God to be the reputed father of Jesus, the most pure Spouse of Mary, ever Virgin, and Head of the Holy Family. You have been chosen by Christ's Vicar as the heavenly Patron and Protector of the Church founded by Christ. Therefore, with the greatest confidence I implore your powerful assistance for the whole Church Militant. Protect, in a special manner, with true fatherly love, the Sovereign Pontiff and all the bishops and priests in communion with the See of Peter. Be the protector of all who labor for souls amid the trials and tribulations of this life; and grant that all the nations of the earth may submit with docility to that church out of which there is no salvation.
