Dear Parishioners:

You are a vital member of the Body of Christ and the St. Joseph community. We look forward to worshiping with you during this exciting new phase - construction of the new vestibule.

Construction won’t prevent us from celebrating together, but it will be a bit different.  As Fr. Manternach said last weekend, “Be kind, we are all under construction.”  Here are a few tips to make your visit to Mass and Adoration easier.  

• Parking Lot:  The Brockman Avenue entrance will be closed to traffic.  Please use the two 14th Street entrances to the parking lot.  
• Handicap parking and drop off:  The six handicap parking spots off of Brockman Avenue can still be utilized.  There will be a new, one-way drive from Brockman Avenue to 14th Street to allow for drop offs at the door behind the altar.  There will also be a drop off zone off 14th Street.
• Entrance doors:  The main doors and some of the vestibule will be under construction, but you can use the side doors and the door behind the altar.
• Restrooms:  What was formerly the women’s restroom in the vestibule will be within the construction zone so the remaining restroom will have a new door and become a single, unisex bathroom.  The handicap accessible bathroom behind the altar will remain open.

Thank you for your generosity that allowed us to reach this point!  We look forward to seeing you at Mass and Adoration.
