Ministries
Find Your Place at St. Joseph
St. Joseph Catholic Church is blessed with a variety of ministries that nurture faith, foster service, and strengthen our parish community. Whether you feel called to proclaim the Word as a Reader, spend quiet time with the Lord in Adoration, support parish life through the Ladies Altar Society or St. Martha’s Guild, or engage in fellowship through the Knights of Columbus or Catholic Daughters, there is a place for you. We also welcome those who wish to serve as Altar Servers or Ushers, helping to make our liturgies reverent and welcoming. We invite you to explore these ministries and discover how you can be an active part of our parish family.
