Facility Improvements Please prayerfully consider a gift to our campaign. Success depends on the sacrifices of many, rather than a few. We invite every family to build our future together. Though we may not all be able to offer equal gifts, we can offer the Lord and each other equal sacrifice. Priest Sacristy Dear parishioners, It is with great joy that I share with you that the Priest Sacristy is already finished. The project cost $7,694.77. I am deeply grateful to the Hispanic community for all their work at the Corn School Festival last year and to all of you for buying Mexican food there and also for your donations. I hope to start the second and last phase of this project next year. It will be the renovation of the sacristy for altar servers and the sacred vessels for the Holy Mass. Also, remember that we need your donations and support for the roof of our parish. Our parish groups will be doing some activities to raise money. We hope for your generosity. Thank you so much. Fr. Osman Ramos

Our Parish On January 5, 1937 the construction of St. Joseph's Catholic Church began and was concluded by the following 19th of March, when it was dedicated by Bishop Noel . The dedication service was full to capacity, including twenty-three priests. In 1957, St. Joseph's was granted the full status of Parish by the Bishop, and with that received a full time priest. Fr. Raymond Osdyke, a Franciscan, was assigned to be St. Joseph's first priest as a true parish. In the summer of 1977, the ground was broken to begin a larger church and hall building, which continued until completion at the end of 1979-80. Bishop McManus dedicated the new church on April 26, 1980, making the new home official. Little changed over the years, but in June 2012 the parish ended its affliction with the Franciscan friars in Angola, becoming instead a parish of the diocese. Anyone who grew up at St. Joseph's or attended Mass there during the time of the affiliation would undoubtedly look on Angola as forever part of the family. 10 years later, in 2022, our bond to Angola returned with sharing our priests with St. Anthony of Padua in Angola and St. Paul's Chapel in Fremont.

It is desire to make our church an inviting, joyful, and prayerful place to worship.
