Do I belong?

For many different reasons, people at times feel unsure about their place in the Catholic Church. Like so many others, perhaps you are struggling with a specific church teaching, or perhaps your Catholic experience has been hurtful, or you are struggling with current or past sin, or maybe you’re questioning your beliefs.

The parish family of St. Joseph would like to reach out to you with the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. YES, you are welcome here! 

We have provided information and resources below regarding a variety of topics. In addition, we encourage you to speak to a priest or staff member about these or any other topic, as soon as you feel ready to do so.  Please do not hesitate to contact the parish office at (636) 227-5247 to schedule a time to talk in person.
