Church of St. Joseph / St. Joseph School
Welcome to the Church of St. Joseph on the WWW!

We are dreamers but our feet are firmly on the ground. We worship, study, pray and play together in good times and bad so that our life in Christ may grow stronger. We accept Jesus as our shepherd and we attempt to shepherd one another in the same spirit that he shepherds us. He has made a difference in our lives. We are a people of faith striving to believe more firmly; a people of hope, searching for ways to trust more fully; a people of love, intent on expressing that love in faithful service.
  • St. Joseph Parish in Mendham, N.J. was established as a Mission of St. Vincent the Martyr Parish in Madison, N.J. in 1853. Later, it was attended for Seton Hall College and then from Assumption Parish in Morristown until 1874 when it was established as a parish. The original church, constructed of "carpenter Gothic" still standing, was constructed for 50 families and is the oldest church in the Diocese of Paterson. It now serves as a chapel for the new church dedicated on June 10, 1989.
  • St. Joseph Parish serves 1700 Roman Catholic families residing in Mendham Boro and Mendham Township. St. Joseph Parish School was opened in September of 1963 and is staffed by a lay faculty of 14.
