A place to belong, believe, and become good news for others.
Every single life is precious to God and to our St. Joseph Parish community. Members of our Pro-Life ministry live out their faith by promoting respect for the sanctity of life from conception until natural death, through prayer and other activities. See the “Pro-Life Activities” list below for contact information and to learn how you can become involved in this important ministry. Join the mailing list here.

“For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.” - Psalm 139:13-18

We pray a Pro-life Rosary on the second Saturday of the month at 9:30 am at the Planned Parenthood in Stonegate Plaza in Twin Oaks. We also pray a Pro-life Rosary on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 pm in the church during adoration.Help make cookies for the Kairos prison ministry retreat. Cookies must be made according to a few simple guidelines (no fruit, no nuts, no icing, no sprinkles). They should be about three inches in size, packed in quart-sized Ziploc bags, one dozen per bag. Chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter or oatmeal are great! Other varieties are welcome too! For contact information, see the parish directory.
