We are proud to have our very own St. Joseph Youth Ministry. The youth of our Parish in grades 6th and up are invited to be a part of it! Here you will not only build your faith and relationship with Christ but have lots of fun too! Check out the Youth Ministry web page on our website. Parents/Guardians must complete the sign up form and photo permission form prior to your child joining.


All women of the Parish are invited to the Women's Gathering on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 pm in the Church Hall. Here you will not only build your relationship with Christ but create faith-filled friendships with others. Anne McGovern is the host and can be reached at atm6886@gmail.com

One of our newest Ministries is called, Living Forward.   This Ministry meets every Thursday from 12:30 pm to 4 pm in our Church Hall and is for those who have lost a loved one, spouse, child, friend, and you just would like to meet up, have a cup of coffee/tea, play a board game, cards or go for a walk. For more information, please contact Ginny at vlloyd1228@comcast.net


Made with Love Ministry is formed by those who love to crochet or knit baby blankets for our newly baptized infants, or prayer shawls & lap blankets for the elderly, in the comfort of your own home. Please contact Pam O'Farrell at tompamofarrell@comcast.net


St. Joseph Music Ministry St. Joseph Music Ministry’s primary goal is the active participation of our faith community in our sung liturgy. Our song and instrumentalist ministers are disciples who share faith and express the love of God and neighbor through music. Join our ministry to help spread God’s love through your music. Many people don’t feel they are talented enough but don’t let that feeling stop you from joining and sharing your gifts. You’ll feel a sense of belonging, make great friends, and grow artistically and spiritually. Contact Dee Savare, Director of Sacred Music at 908 638 4336 or dsavare76@gmail.com


Our Social Ministry  works hard at building community through faith filled and fun events that are held in our Church Hall or on our Church grounds. The Social Ministry also is responsible for getting our Hospitality Sunday ready following some Sunday Masses. If you are interested in helping this Ministry, or would like to joing the Hospitality Committee, please contact Anne McGovern at atm6886@gmail.com or Deacon Tom at tmcg8466@gmail.com .

The Knights of Columbus will also donate $100 for every 500 lbs. of food collected. You can drop off your donations during Parish Office hours which are Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 3 pm.
