Welcome
Welcome to St. Joseph Catholic Church,
We are a Catholic parish located in Manchester, MO and we are blessed to have St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus, as our parish patron. St. John Paul II wrote the following about St. Joseph: “Saint Joseph was a just man, a tireless worker, the upright guardian of those entrusted to his care. May he always guard, protect and enlighten families.” I believe the same can be said of our parish.
St. Joseph Parish is a just parish…
Our parish has a rich tradition of serving Christ in others. Our parish was one of the first parishes in the Archdiocese to provide Spanish speaking Catholics with a place to call home. Our parish not only supports existing efforts to serve those in need through volunteer programs that aid area soup kitchens, Room at the Inn, and maintaining a vibrant St. Vincent DePaul Society, we also have created many programs to serve the poor that can only be found here at St. Joseph. For example, our Giving Sunday program helps the Wellston Center run by St. Augustine Parish. At Christmas time, our parish adopts an entire town (Fertile, MO) and with the help of the Rural Parish Workers, we make sure that everyone in the town receives a Christmas gift.
St. Joseph Parish is a parish of tireless workers…
Our parish offers many great ministries for our parishioners to be a part of, and each ministry allows the people of the parish to make a difference in our world and also to build community and meaningful relationships. I invite you in a particular way to explore our Stephen Ministry program, Knights of Columbus, and Ladies Auxiliary. There are also many educational opportunities, prayer groups, and Bible studies a person can become a part of.
St. Joseph Parish is a guardian of the gifts and people in its care…
Our parish is a place where people can come to discover their personal gifts and learn how to use them for self-development and the glory of God. Many of our parishioners have benefited from going on an ACTS retreat, attending Financial Peace University, and participating in our Strength-Finders program.
St. Joseph Parish strives to always guard, protect and enlighten families…
We desire to become the spiritual family for all who wish to be our companions on the journey of faith. We also desire to help you strengthen the faith in each member of your family. We have a vibrant Early Childhood Learning Center, and we offer financial assistance to parents who wish to send their children to a Catholic school through our School Scholarship program. We also offer programs for sacramental preparation in addition to our awesome Faith and Family PSR Program.
We hope that our Sunday liturgies will become a weekly highlight for you and your family. We offer a Saturday evening Mass at 4PM, three morning Masses at 7AM, 9AM, & 11AM, a 1PM Mass in Spanish and a Sunday evening Mass at 5PM.
Please take time to explore our parish website and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to call our parish office for more information. There are many more opportunities for spiritual growth through the year. I truly believe that St. Joseph Parish is a parish where you and your family will feel treasured, protected, and inspired.
Thank you and God bless,
Fr. Tom Pastorius -
