Ushers
Both men and women are invited to join this ministry. The welcome we extend to those coming to services reflects the spirit of the parish, which should be as warm and cordial as Christ’s own. If you are interested in this ministry, please call the parish office to schedule training.

Bereavement Ministries
A trained group of ministers meet with members of the family of the deceased to plan the funeral liturgy. They also assist the priest in the Rite of Vigil (attend the funeral home visitation) and the funeral mass. They meet quarterly to discuss new procedures. If you are interested in this ministry, please call the parish office.

Prayer Ministries
Many in the parish family are no longer able to participate in ministries that require physical effort. We suggest that these people join our ministry of prayer which involves saying daily prayers—your choice—for the needs of St. Joseph parish and the entire church. If you ore someone you know is in need of prayers, please contact the parish office.
