A
very warm welcome to you as you visit the website of the St. Joseph
Catholic Church and School, Mantua, Ohio, in northern Portage County.
As a Parish community we see ourselves as a family of believers, committed
to the teachings of Jesus Christ, caring for one another and for the
larger community around us. Worship is very important to us, our school
is a special blessing in our midst, and involvement in ministry is our
badge of service. There are no strangers or spectators here; only people
we have not met and grown to know and love. May God bless you. For contact
information and directions, please visit our "Contact
Us" page.
St.
Joseph Church and School is an active parish community with a large
variety of organizations and activities. Visitors and new parishioners
are always welcome. Please contact the Parish Office to introduce yourself
or to register. At St. Joseph's we want to make sure that no one becomes
just a "member". Therefore, upon contacting the Parish Office
to register as a parishioners, a member of the staff or Welcoming
Committee will meet with you, present you with a welcoming packet,
and personally welcome you to our community. We look forward to meeting
you!

St.
Joseph's First Deacon
On
Saturday, September 13, 2008, parishioner Gary Keefer, St. Joseph's
first deacon, was ordained into the order of permanent deacon. Deacons
perform a ministry of service and are involved in all kinds of hands-on
works of charity and care. Liturgically deacons preach, teach, baptize,
witness weddings, and conduct funerals and wake services.
"The two words thank you don't seem adequate to express
my deep appreciation to the staff and all the parishioners of
St. Joseph Parihs. Your outpouring of support, your love,
and generosity stirred in me a deep sense of humility.
Thank you, as a parish, for the gift o the beautiful alb. I will wear it with honor and remember you every time I do. I ask that you keep me in your prayers that I may be the servant you wish me to be and, as always, you are in my prayers daily. Again, A Great Big Thank You."- Deacon Gary Keefer
