Mission Statement

“This is why a man must leave his father and mother, and cling to his wife, and the two become one. They are no longer two, therefore, but one body. So then, what God has united, man must not divide.” (Matthew 19:5-6)

“A wedding is a day … a marriage is a lifetime.” 

Lifelong marriage requires preparation and sustenance, because marriage is both vocation and sacrament. 

Preparation involves a process of faith development and a new understanding of God’s vision for marriage and family life. 

The year-long preparation period for marriage is designed to integrate sacramental preparation with relationship and life-skills training. 

The aim of the preparation is to provide newly-married couples with the tools they need to meet the daily challenges of holy family life.

Alive… in Christ Jesus…  

This Ministry was formed in response to the need to be the voice of the unborn, the elderly, and the marginalized in our society.  We have a phone chain so that we may mobilize quickly and call our state and federal government officials when a relevant piece of legislation is to be voted upon.  We advise them on how their constituents want them to vote.  

We meet as needed and communication through email or telephone.  

Our activities include The Life Chain, a Diocesan poster/essay contest, and support of Life Choices, Inc.  

For more information please contact: Mary Kovacs (Chairperson)

 The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month in the Parish Meeting Room: 10:15am-12:15pm

Both beginners and those with experience are welcome.  All items are donated to Care Centers, Soup Kitchens, Life Choices, the Abused Women Shelter, the Karen Ann Quinlin Hospice and the Birth Haven in Newton.

Jesus tells us how to get the priests the Church needs: "Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for His harvest." (Matthew 9:38).  

The priests we need are out there.  

God has not stopped calling.  

We have to ask.

Join others on the 3rd Tuesday of the month for Mass at 12 noon, as we pray for an increase in vocations to the consecrated life.  Lunch will follow.

For more information, contact the Parish Office.

All women of the parish are welcomed to come together on the 3rd Monday of the month in the St. Joseph Community Room to pray and reflect on the meditations given by Catholic Priests and lay Catholic women from 6:30pm-8:30pm.
