Welcome
Welcome to St. Joseph Catholic Church,
Dear Friends,
Happy Easter season! Now is a time of rejoicing for our Lord and Savior is risen. Throughout Lent we focused on Pope Francis’ use of the phrase “creative courage” to celebrate the many ways we creatively and courageously strive to serve God. I was truly inspired to discover how many of you courageously trusted God during this time and found ways to incorporate God into your daily lives, all of which make our parish and our Church stronger. As we now celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, the promise of new life from God that was renewed at Easter continues to grow and fill our souls with hope.
Over the last few months as some of us started to return to church, we began to look forward to gathering with our friends and fellow parishioners. As we approach the summer months, we look forward to opportunities to gather safely outside as a community.
During this year of St. Joseph, we are called to celebrate our own St. Joseph community; we are called to invite others to join us, and we are called to become good news for others. I invite you to join us as we Celebrate Community in these next several months. We will kick off our summer-long celebration of community on May 1st with an outdoor Mass at 4pm on the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker (Mass on the Grass). Also, on that weekend we will introduce Java at Joe’s in the courtyard after the 7am, 9am, 11am and 1pm Masses.
Throughout the summer months and into fall we will highlight the many communities that call St. Joseph Parish their home. Please plan to join us at one of our many opportunities to #celebratecommunity and share your experiences on our parish Facebook page.
Thank you and God bless,
Fr. Tom Pastorius

May 9During this time when our regular routines have vastly changed, we may be asking ourselves why we do what we do? Maybe the question of “Why?” has even crept into your faith life. Seriously seeking an answer to the question of “Why am I Catholic?” can be a profound experience. In this talk, Jason Evert examines this very question and explains to his audience, and to us, why he is and remains Catholic. In fact, he goes a step beyond this and beautifully witnesses to the joy of our faith through engaging storytelling.Read More

April 30And now for something completely different. So far we’ve listened to talks, watched stand-alone videos, multi-episode learning series, but now I’ve reviewed something completely different. Masterpieces is a short documentary on Art and Faith. While watching, you’ll hear about the process of creating art and how five artists found a calling in being artists. The documentary is beautiful and almost a meditation on the arts and faith.Read More

April 20Here is a subject matter that makes some turn away in order to not have to hear or to see it; suffering. I once heard a priest say that no matter who we are, rich or poor, man or woman, old or young, we have to suffer. I acknowledged that he was probably right, but that he didn’t mean me or the people I loved. At a time when it feels like the whole world is suffering, it makes it harder to deny that priest’s statement. Why do we suffer? Dr. Scott Hahn tackles this important and difficult question in his audio talk “Making Sense out of Suffering.” And he nails it. If you have ever questioned why a loving God would have us suffer, then you should consider giving this talk a listen.Read More
