Dear Parishioners,
It is with joy that St. Joseph’s Church is going to resume the Holy Eucharist on Wednesday June 10, 2020. This is based on recommendations from Bishop Soto. The schedule of Masses will remain the same, which is Monday through Thursday at 8:15. There are not Masses on Fridays.

Never permit me to be separated from You,”
