The Parish Community of St. Joseph is a very busy place with dozens of groups using the facilities year round. Please check with the Parish Office to confirm a date whenever you are planning a meeting, event, fundraiser, etc. Don’t assume that a space or date is available before you check the master calendar through the Parish Office staff (330-274-2253 or ktrares@stjosephmantua.com). They should always know what is going on throughout the buildings and on the grounds not only for organizational purposes but also for safety and security concerns. As pastor, Fr. Ed has final approval on everything. He should be contacted in person or by phone, 330-575-9105 (not by text or email please). We also take pride in accurately publicizing the many activities in the bulletin and on the parish website and Facebook pages. We appreciate your assistance in help to keep the parish running smoothly and efficiently by following good rules of communication:  clear, concise, complete, correct, and courteous.
