The new St. Joseph Parish Pastoral Plan was unveiled to the parish this weekend (October 25-26, 2014). The plan was created over the course of the past year based on the feedback given by parishioners through the surveys and focus groups that were conducted from 2012-2013. The Pastoral Council and parish staff, under the leadership of Fr. Dave O'Connor, were responsible for writing the plan. The stragetic plan provides visioning, goals, and objectives for the coming three years of ministry at St. Joseph.

Come Holy Spirit, remain with us, and enlighten our hearts. Give us light and strength to know your will, to make it our own, and to live it in our lives. Guide us by your wisdom, support us by your power, for you are God, sharing the glory of the Father and the Son. You desire justice for all; enable us to uphold the rights of others; do not allow us to be misled by ignorance or compromised by fear or favor. Unite us to yourself in the bond of love and keep us faithful to all that is true. May we temper justice with love, so that all our ministry at St. Joseph may be pleasing to you, and obtain the reward promised to good and faithful servants. We ask this of You who live and reign with the Father and the Son, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
