St. Joseph's

Catholic Church

A “Blue Mass “will be held at St. Joseph’s Church on Thursday, September 29th at 7:00 pm. This is a Mass dedicated to our first responders: Police Officers, Firefighters, Paramedics, EMT’s, Nurses, Doctors, Military and other public safety personnel. This special Mass will be held on the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, the Archangels, which is most appropriate as St. Michael the Archangel is the patron of all first responders.

Feel free to wear your respective uniforms to the Mass. We come together to pray for the safety and protection of all first responders. We come together to say thank you and show our appreciation for the work that they do each and every day to keep us safe.
Light refreshments will be served after the Mass in the Parish Center. All are welcome to attend.




Lord, please protect the brave men and women in my community who serve as first responders. Please guide these men and women and help equip them mentally, physically and spiritually to confront the scenes and scenarios set before them. Through Christ Our Lord.

If you have ever wanted to learn more about our Catholic Faith, we have a   great opportunity for you!!
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a year-long program that prepares people to receive all or some of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Communion) at the Easter Vigil. The program offers a comprehensive study of the beliefs of the Catholic Church in a friendly and approachable setting. Even if you have received these sacraments, this is a great opportunity to learn more about our Faith.
