A place to belong, believe, and become good news for others.
Members of the Parish are invited to pray the Chaplet of St. Monica Friday mornings after the 6:30 and 8:30 AM Mass. This simple prayer is a special way that we at St. Joseph pray for our brothers and sisters who do not practice their faith anymore.
During the 11am Mass, a consecrated chalice is sent home for the subsequent week with an individual, a couple, or a family who commit to pray daily for vocations.
To select the Mass that you will take the chalice home and pray for vocations—priesthood, diaconate, consecrated life - click HERE.
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament begins each Wednesday after the 8:30 am Mass and continues through the day. The Rosary is prayed at 7:00 pm. Exposition concludes with Benediction at 7:45 pm. If anyone is interested in committing to a weekly hour of adoration/exposition, please contact the coordinator, Joan Feise at (636) 391-9747 or Click Here.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Devotion
The devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a Marian devotion that centers around the icon of the Virgin Mary, known as Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The icon is believed to have been painted by the Evangelist Saint Luke and has been venerated by the faithful for centuries. The devotion is based on the belief that Mary, through her intercession, can help us in times of need and bring us to eternal salvation. Join us for this devotion every Tuesday after 8:30am Mass.
Perpetual Memorial Candles
The Memorial Candle symbolizes the continuation of the life of the deceased in spirit and serves as a reminder that the memory of the loved one will live on. The meaning of memorial candles is deeply rooted in the idea of remembrance, honor, and respect for the lives of those who have passed away.
Our memorial candles are on the wall in the back of church. Candles cost $100 per year, and once purchased, will stay lit for the year. A plaque with your personal message is included. You may request a candle by filling out a form at the Ambassador’s Station or Parish Office or by clicking HERE.

The Rosary
The Holy Rosary is prayed each Monday—Saturday at 7:45 am in the church and on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm during Eucharisitic Expostion in church.
Sleeping St. Joseph
In the back of our Church, we are blessed to have a statue of St. Joseph under the title of "St. Joseph the Dreamer" or "Sleeping St. Joseph". As part of this devotion, people can insert slips of paper, with their intention written on them, into the statute's display case. We believe that St. Joseph will help us follow God's will as St. Joseph did in the Bible, always receiving God's commands while asleep dreaming.
Stations of the Cross
On Fridays during Lent our parish offers Stations of the Cross at 7PM. Each week is hosted by a different parish group.
