The people of St Joseph Catholic Church are busy saving souls and helping people in their needs at all levels. From helping people pay their basic life expenses to evenings of reflection, from preparing couples and godparents for the Baptism of an infant to meeting with families preparing the funeral of a loved one – we are here and we are working.
Seven Sisters Apostolate
Have you ever heard of the Seven Sisters Apostolate? This exciting new ministry’s mission is committed prayerful support for our parish priests. When we say sisters, we mean women who are called to pray one holy hour, one day a week, for the intentions of our priests to help strengthen them and our church.
Each woman chooses one day a week to offer one hour of prayer, preferably in adoration, for one of our parish priests. If you would like more information, please contact Ivey Rhoades.
