2014 MASS BOOK OPENS

If you want to remember your loved ones with a Mass our 2014 book is now open. We still have some weekday and Saturday mornings available in 2013 as well so please help to fill these days.








Those wishing to honor a loved one during the celebration of Mass at St. Joseph Church may also pick up Mass cards in the parish office. Mass cards are available for the living and deceased and provide opportunities for prayerful remembrance of anniversaries, birthdays, and other special intentions. Masses are usually booked at least several months in advance, so, if you have a particular date or time at which you want the Mass, it is very important that you reserve your dates as soon as possible.
