Welcome
Welcome to St. Joseph Parish's home on the internet. We take seriously the challenge of Pope Francis call to "always be a place of mercy and hope, where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven." You will discover that St. Joseph Parish is a vibrant parish where each person in our parish community and each guest that visits us are seen as a gift from God.
St. Joseph Parish encourages each of its members to participate fully in the amazing liturgies and the inspiring Sacramental life of the parish. Come and listen to our lectos proclaim the Scriptures boldlyand our music ministry in spire us in song. Watch our altar servers serve with servant hearts, our ushers assist people cheerfully, and our deacons and priess lead our parish with hearts modeled after Jesus Christ, the Good Sheperd. If you feel a call to be a minister at Mass, do not hesitate to ask one of the clergy or parish staff how you can help serve our parish as a minister.
St. Joseph has emolden its members to be leaders in the world and to selflessly give of themselves. Our parish St. Vincent DePaul Society helps the poor, not only finacially, but also spiritually by reminding each of them is made in the image of God. Some members of our parish have answered the call to feed the hungry by assisting at different food pantries and area soup kitchens. Still other parishioners assist thehomeless through a program called "A Room at the Inn". We provide assistance to our brothers and sisters in the inner city through our "Giving Sunday" program and at Christmas time we ensure an entire small rural town has a blessed Christmas.
We all know that we cannot do this without Jesus, and so we are a parish that also strives hard to help each memember improve his or her own personal relationship with the Lord. We have many adult faith opportunies including ACTS retreats, the Stephen Ministry Programs, and other Bible Studies.
Finally, we are a parish that takes passing our faith to the next generation seriously. Our Parish Early Childhood Learning Center, Full-Time School, and PArish School of Religion, all excel at helping children grow in their faith. Our High School youth ministry program provides teens an encouraging faith community to help guide them through their exciting high school years.
If, after exploring our website, you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the parish office form ore information. -

August 24Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley has accepted Archbishop Robert J. Carlson’s invitation to review files “for the purpose of making an independent determination of our handling of allegations of clergy sexual abuse in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.” Archbishop Carlson invited the independent review in a letter to Hawley. The archbishop also wrote that, last year, he instructed that a review of its safe environment protocols to protect children and vulnerable individuals be undertaken by a former member of the FBI with experience in the matter. “She found our protocols to be appropriate and robust,” Archbishop Carlson wrote.

Wednesday, September 26, 7:00 AMOne of the amazing things about our God is that He never forces Himself upon anyone. He invited Abraham to leave his comfort zone and begin a journey of faith that would lead him to the Promised Land. God now invites you to leave your comfort zone so that you can one day enjoy eternal life. God invited Moses to lead the Israelites from slavery to freedom with the promise to be with him at every step of the journey. God now invites you to leave your old life of slavery to sin and selfishness so that you may enjoy the true freedom of being a selfless child of God. God invited Joshua to trust Him when the city of Jericho appeared too be to big of an obstacle to overcome. God now asks you to learn to trust Him when life’s obstacles seem to big for you to handle. God invited the Blessed Virgin Mary to be the mother of God and to play an important part in bringing Jesus into the world, and so now He asks you to willingly step up and bring His Son and His love to the world. As you begin this period of preparation for Confirmation, we invite you and your parent to come to Church on Thursday September 26, 2018 at 7PM. As a part of the evening, you and your parent will be given a chance to develop your own Discipleship Plan. The evening will conclude with a special prayer service and blessing.
