Welcome to St. Joseph's Church

Dear Parishioners,

Today we have the fundraising drive of the Ladies of Charity of the Archdiocese of New York to benefit the work of the Sisters of Life with pregnant women and parenting moms. Please donate diapers, baby wipes, baby clothing, and Target gift cards. Checks payable to “Ladies of Charities” are most welcome. Thank you for supporting this important pro-life effort to help those in need.

All Souls envelopes are available on the tables at the back of the church. Please return your completed envelopes in the collection or drop them off at the rectory office. The All Souls envelopes will be placed on the altar during the month of November. Three Masses will be offered for all those named on the envelopes. The Mass schedule on All Souls Day, November 2nd, is the usual weekday schedule: Mass at 7 AM and 12:15 PM. 

For those who would like to join the Catholic Church, and for those Catholic adults who have not yet made their First Holy Communion and/or Confirmation and would like to do so, our parish online class is available. Please contact me for more information and to register. My contact information is in the bulletin.

Pope Leo XIV will be travelling to South America on November 6,  visiting Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru. He will return to the Vatican on November 17. Let us pray for his continued recovery from his surgery as he undertakes this Apostolic Visit. He will visit Chiclayo, Peru, where he served as bishop.

I will be making my annual spiritual retreat this week. During my absence Fr. Jean Didier will be in charge of the parish.

God Bless you!

Fr. Gerald E. Murray, Pastor
