Saint Joseph Cemetery — It is mowing season. Please remove any flowers, etc from family graves. Any small items that do not fit on the gravestone itself may be discarded by our mowing crew. We strive to keep our sacred cemetery well-maintained, please help us by keeping your loved one’s grave(s) clutter-free. Anyone with complaints about missing items please speak with Fr Riley about your concern. Thanks

We extend our sympathy and prayers to Tina Via in the passing o her mother, Dorothy Elder to the judgement seat of the Almighty God. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Sacrament of Penance & Reconciliation
Confessions are heard on the parking lot on Saturdays at Noon (I will not wait around if no one is there).
