Welcome
Dear F
riends,
Our parish was founded in 1855 as a cornerstone of faith in the community, serving German-speaking immigrants. The parish helped people continue their personal relationship with Jesus in a new country and bring new traditions to our area – like the Sausage Supper we celebrate this weekend!
Today, our mission to serve our community continues. We’ve spent the last several months celebrating our community and highlighting the many ministries and organizations that call St. Joseph Parish their home, and now we shift our focus to those members of our parish who bring new traditions. We are an active, vibrant destination for those who celebrate Mass in English, Spanish and Portuguese, with dynamic ongoing faith formation programs and multilingual ministries.
Our intercultural community here at St. Joseph in Manchester enriches the local Catholic landscape. The many perspectives of people in this community, as part of our parish, help us grow in faith and appreciate many cultural traditions different from the ones in which we were raised. We also recognize in a special way that many people make St. Joseph Parish their home faith community, and some travel a great distance to worship here.
This fall, we celebrate the fact that we worship together as one, holy, Catholic, apostolic church. We will celebrate the feasts of Señor de Los Milagros, Dia de Los Muertos, St. Nicholas and Our Lady of Guadalupe, as well as share in a multilingual penance service in December. I invite you to join us to celebrate one or more of these unique holy celebrations, embrace the ways we worship together, and help us grow in faith and appreciation of the breadth and depth of God’s presence in our world.
United in faith, we as members of the St. Joseph community reach out with love, embrace the future, and become Good News for others!
In Christ,
Fr. Tom Pastorius
Pastor
