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 fro 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
