St. Joseph's Catholic Church has a variety of organizations that are dedicated to spreading the "Good News". We also have committees that serve in a variety of ways. Please take a moment to visit their websites. There is always something going on, maybe something that you would like to attend, be a part of, or just to be aware of what is happening in our church.
Knights of Columbus Council #2134 has many activities for children and adults. They conduct numerous fundraisers throughout the year that benefit the church, school, and community.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society is an international Catholic organization of lay people, founded in 1833 by Federic Ozanam and five friends while attending the Sorbonne University in Paris. Placed under the patronage of St. Vincent de Paul, it derives its inspiration from his thinking and work in loving and caring for the poor. This society is open to all who wish to live their faith in a spirit of love to the needy and poor. No work of charity is foreign to the society. It serves everyone regardless of creed, opinion, race, or status.
