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 - at this time no activities are being held). Per diocesan regulations, Masses will be adjusted so that the pastor is limited to three regularly scheduled weekend Masses.
Mass schedule adjusted during COVID-19 Pandemic
Masses are at 5:00 p.m. Saturday & 9:00 a.m. Sunday (St. Ambrose Church will have a 11:00 a.m. Sunday Mass). Weekday Mass are at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesdays (8:00 a.m. on Friday for St. Ambrose). Safe distancing and proper safe environment protocols will be in place including the wearing of masks and sanitizing. Please keep Fr. Ed and these parishes in your prayers during this difficult time.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

Catholic Charities launched the Warm Hearts for Warm Homes campaign (formerly Keep the Kids Warm) in 2008 in response to the economic recession impacting many local families. Unfortunately, the need for this annual campaign still exists over 12 years later. Warm Hearts for Warm Homes aims to provide utility assistance during the cold winter months to families with children, working poor adults and older adults on fixed incomes. More information about Warm Hearts for Warm Homes, including ways to support this campaign with your prayers and financial support, can be found at www.ccdoy.org. A second collection will be taken the weekend of January 30/31 for this effort.Read More -
