elcome 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.
