Parish Mission Statement e, the parishioners of St. Joseph the Worker, commit ourselves to developing a closer relationship with Jesus W Christ. We will joyfully celebrate Holy Mass and the sacraments and conduct our lives with the understanding that each of us is a temple of the Holy Spirit. We will increase our knowledge and practice of faith through study, word and action and help our families and others to do the same. We honor our namesake, St. Joseph the Worker, who is the pa- tron saint of the universal Catholic Church and all workers. Our outreach will be to believers, doubters and unbelievers alike as we are all children of God. We will be an inviting and hospitable parish open to all people at whatever level of faith. Though we are made up of many ethnic groups, each with its special identity, we are all united in service to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
