We the people of St. Joseph Catholic Church proclaim our belief in the message and mission of Jesus Christ in union with the Universal Church. As a parish community, we seek to live out that belief in worship. We seek to deepen our knowledge of our faith and to share it in our civic community. We seek to create a home for all who wish to share our faith and worship and to embrace our gift of cultural diversity. We embrace stewardship in thanksgiving for God's bountiful gifts. (Pastoral Council 1999)

Vision Statement:
To Know the Lord . . .
We accept the obligation to understand the faith and increase our awareness of Christ in our daily lives. "Seek first the kingdom of God . . . and all these things will be given to you besides." (Mt. 6:26-34)

To Love the Lord . . .
We embrace the obligation to worship and praise the Lord by participating whole-heartedly in the sacramental life of the church and to show our love of the Lord by example. "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind." (Mt. 23:37)

To Serve the Lord . . .
We hold the obligation as Christians to generously share our gifts of time, talent and treasure for the benefit of others and to fulfill Christ's mission. "I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers or sisters of mine, you did for me." (Mt. 26:40) Pastoral Council 1999
