Welcome to St. Joseph Parish. We are followers of Jesus Christ and we gather weekly in His name. We believe that each person has been blessed and gifted by the Holy Spirit. We encourage everyone to respond to their baptismal call by sharing their time, talents and treasures and we believe that by doing so, we will become true disciples of the Lord. We invite you to join us in this fellowship.

Calendar of Events

Fall Events

Cold Hands Warm Heart
October 26 & 27

This overnight experience of sleeping outside in a cardboard box is a prayerful and interactive way for our high school students to better understand the complex issue of homelessness in our community. There will be a second collection for Cold Hands Warm Heart at all parishes on October 19 & 20. All funds raised are donated to the Transitional Living Center, the homeless shelter in Burlington. This year the students will also be making "Blessing Bags" for TLC. For more information, contact Ellie Schultz at [email protected] or visit https://www.mystcharles.org/about/cold-hand.cfm

Mass of Healing
Sunday, October 27 at 2:00 p.m.
St. Joseph Parish Center

This Tri-Parish Mass will accommodate those for whom getting into the church is difficult, and will fulfill your Sunday obligation. As Catholics, we believe that healing occurs during all Masses. God wants to heal us and will heal through the powerful gift given to us by the Holy Spirit. This is one of God's gifts to his Church. During a Healing Mass, we invite the Holy Spirit into our hearts in order that a healing may take place. In addition to the Anointing of the Sick, special prayer will be offered for those in need of any type of healing. There will be a reception with light refreshments immediately after Mass.

Donate Diapers
To honor and support those mothers who have chosen life for their children in spite of difficult circumstances, the Tri-Parish Human Concerns Committee is sponsoring a Diaper Drive to benefit Life Choices in Burlington. Disposable diapers of all sizes and other products for babies will be collected at all Masses at all three parishes on October 19/20 and October 27/28.

Fill a Baby Bottle
Knights of Columbus Council 15665 will hold their Baby Bottle Campaign again this year. Pick up a bottle at the church entrances, fill them with loose change and return them by the first weekend in November. It adds up...last year they raised over $2,500 which was given to Life Choices in Burlington, a pro-life organization for women and babies, that helps with parental education, clothing , diapers, formula, etc. They will also receive this year's collection.

Get a Free Ultrasound
If you are in your first or early second trimester of pregnancy, you can get a free ultrasound at New Day Women's Clinic (formerly Pregnancy Helpline of Walworth County).

Check out their scheduling calendar to set an appointment at https://ndwc.setmore.com/ One of the nurses will be in contact to confirm the appointment.

You would allow care givers some respite time by chatting with patients, reading to patients, playing card or board games and more. There is a veterans visiting veterans program. They need help in the office as well. Volunteer times are flexible according to your availability and interests. Attend one of their upcoming open houses to find out more.
