Solemnity of St. Joseph

Join us in celebrating the Feast of Saint Joseph, our parish patron saint. Additionally, Saint Katharine Drexel made a retreat on March 19, 1889 and on that Feast of St. Joseph, she decided to say “yes” to dedicating herself to religious life and minority communities. Find out her story after Mass.

Visit Camp Wakeham

Just north of St. Joseph lies Camp Wakeham, the site of Wakeham family cemetery. During the 1930s, the grounds also served as a retreat center for about a dozen years. Join us as we visit the graves of the Wakeham family and other early parish converts who built the parish. Together we will pray the Chapel of Divine Mercy. The walk is about 15 minutes long. Wear good walking shoes.
Emphasis: Praying for the souls of the faithful departed who founded our parish

Catholic Education

CCD wrap up with children’s Mass.  Hear a presentation on the Wakeham family (Catherine and William) and the Nichols family (Fred and Lydia), the two early families of St. Joseph. Both families dedicated their lives to teaching the people in and around Saint Joseph. Learn about how “Miss Lydia” became one of the few lay people ever to receive the “Pro ecclesia et Pontifice” medal from the Pope for her 47 years of service to the Church.
Emphasis: Catholic education laid the foundation for the survival of the parish
