Mark Your Calendar for These Faith-Building Opportunities

This list does not include worship times or St. Joseph Parish committee meetings and other recurring group appointments; these can be found on the home page or in our print bulletin calendar. For events without an active link, please call or email the hosting organization for details. Event submissions may be emailed to the Parish Secretary for consideration.
