Welcome to St. Joseph's Church

Dear Parishioners,

The Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal 2026 is underway in the Archdiocese of New York. Those parishioners who have contributed in the past should have received a letter from Timothy Cardinal Dolan along with an informational flyer and donation envelope. If you are not on our mailing list, you may take the informational brochure and donation envelope which are available on the table at the back of the church.

Our parish goal this year is $105,000. Please be generous in supporting the Cardinal’s Appeal. Your contributions support the pastoral, educational and charitable works of the Archdiocese of New York.

The Archdiocese of New York is providing each parish with two tickets for the Installation Mass on February 6th at 2 PM at St. Patrick’s Cathedral of our new Archbishop, Ronald A. Hicks. One of those tickets will be for our parish school. The other ticket will be offered through a lottery. If you would like to enter the lottery, please fill out the small slip of paper available on the table at the back of the church and place it in the lottery box. The drawing will be held on January 26; the winner will be notified by telephone.

Monday January 19th is the Federal holiday in honor of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There will be only one Mass at 7 AM. There will be no 12:15 PM Mass. The church will close after Mass. The rectory office will be closed.

As we pause as a nation to honor Dr. King’s life and legacy, let us pray and work for the full respect of the civil rights and dignity of black people in America. Let us promote the cause of justice that Dr. King valiantly fought for in the name of God. May all Americans rid themselves of invidious racial prejudices and show true love of neighbor as Christ commands us.

God Bless you!

Fr. Gerald E. Murray, Pastor
