Dear St. Joseph Families, We have now entered the season of Advent. Let us be mindful that the season is a time of preparation. Often, we seem to bypass Advent but it is a time to prepare ourselves for the celebration of the Christ child. This period of time should allow us to reflect on [...]
Dear St. Joseph Families, As we prepare for Thanksgiving break (I know we are all chomping at the bit), I wanted to communicate with you about your involvement in the upcoming process through Lumen Accreditation. In past years, St. Joseph has gone through the accreditation process through SACS, AdvancED, and most recently through Cognia. As [...]

Dear St. Joseph Families, Our parish has celebrated its 75th anniversary this past weekend. Since, 1949, St. Joseph Catholic Church has been a home to many families as a place of faith and community.
