Parish Life

Rooted in Faith, Grounded in Community.

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is the act of worshiping God as He is present in the consecrated Eucharist. Adoration of the Most Holy Eucharist is coming before Christ in His entirety; His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity to contemplate His awesomeness and to lovingly adore Him. When we do this, we are in His Real Presence, able to speak with Him in our mind and our heart. St. Joseph offers Adoration on the 1st Wednesdays of every month. Complete the form below to sign up for an hour with Jesus!

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

Founded on the principles of charity, unity, and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Father Michael J.

They intended to bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled, and needy members and their families.  Today, Father McGivney is being considered for sainthood.
