Nurturing the Parish's Mission Statement, the Welcoming Committee is not satisfied until each and every person who comes to our church, from vacationers and visitors to newcomers and old timers, feels relaxed and welcome.

We heartily welcome all new families and persons into our parish family.  Please contact the Parish Office @ 330.274.2253 or e-mail ktrares@stjosephmantua.com to register.  As a member of the Church you are accepting the responsibility of supporting God’s work at St. Joseph Parish through giving of yourself, your time and talents and treasures to show your love for Christ and your gratitude for God's many favors.

The Welcoming Committee strives to make everyone feel at home and comfortable at St. Joseph’s.  The committee especially hopes to encourage new parishioners in becoming full and active members of our faith community.  The Stewardship Way of Life and Welcoming Committees have developed a welcoming packet of materials, including information about St. Joseph’s and our various activities and committees for all new parishioners. A "welcoming couple" or other member of the committee or support persons will meet newly registering families after the Mass they attend and present them with their packet.

Members of the Welcoming Committee (and the Parish Family Life Committee) meet with the Stewardship Way of Life Committee. If you would like to join this group of friendly "welcomers" or need more information, please contact Deacon Gary & Cyndi Keefer (330.274.2600 or gkeefer@stjosephmantua.com) or the Parish Office (330.274.2263 or parishoffice@stjosephmantua.com).
