Welcome to The Parish Community of St. Joseph's website. As you get acquainted to our parish, it is our hope that you will take advantage of the many activities that happen throughout the year. You will find the people of St. Joseph to be very welcoming and inviting.
The parish, since its inception in 1864, has been blessed with enthusiastic, dedicated, and faith-filled people committed to the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.
As of August 15, 2019, St. Joseph Church became a collaborative unit with St. Ambrose Church in Garrettsville and St. Michael Church in Windham with our pastor serving for all three. Each parish will remain its own entity with staffs, programs, ministries, and organizations. St. Michael's is designated an oratory (just open for feast day celebrations, weddings, funeral, and other prayer opportunities). Per diocesan regulations, Masses will be adjusted so that the pastor is limited to three regularly scheduled weekend Masses.
Beginning September 1st, St. Joseph Church will have Masses at 5:00 p.m. Saturday & 9:00 a.m. Sunday and St. Ambrose Church will have a 11:00 a.m. Sunday Mass. Weekday Mass will be at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday & Thursday for St. Joseph and Wednesday & Friday for St. Ambrose. Please keep Fr. Ed and these parishes in your prayers during this time of transition.
We, the Parish Community of St. Joseph Catholic Church
are a welcoming family of believers who:
are committed to our Baptismal call
to Discipleship in Jesus Christ,
witness the gospel,
and further the Kingdom through
our ministry and worship
Proud Home of a
Quality Festival
Since 1964

In thanksgiving for the precious gift of life, St. Joseph Cares will be offering opportunities throughout the year to recognize and defend the most fundamental right that we all possess, the right to life. Our first opportunity will be the weekend before the national March for Life. On Saturday, January 18, right after the 5:00 p.m. Mass at St Joseph’s, we will be hosting a movie night and showing the movie “Unplanned”, the true story of Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood employee. Bring a comfortable chair to sit in. Popcorn and drinks will be provided. This event is free and no reservations are required.

In January, our PSR program transforms the Giving Tree to a Warm Hearts for Warm Homes collection tree. Formerly known as Keep the Kids Warm, this Catholic Charities campaign helps provide winter hats, gloves, mittens, and scarves to families in need. Our collection will conclude on January 12th. In the Diocese of Youngstown, 43% of households are unable to afford the basic necessities of life, including food, shelter, and heat during the cold winter months. In response to the needs of individuals and families in our community, Catholic Charities is sponsoring its annual Warm Hearts for Warm Homes campaign (formerly Keep the Kids Warm). This effort provides utility assistance to low-income individuals and families in our community. To make a donation to Warm Hearts for Warm Homes, visit Catholic Charities’ website at www.ccdoy.org, or mail your contribution to Catholic Charities, Warm Hearts for Warm Homes, 144 West Wood St., Youngstown, OH 44503.Read More -
