Welcome!  Our mission at St. Joseph's Catholic Church is to Evangelize God's People,  Beginning with the Gift of the Holy Eucharist. Our 2021 Parish theme is "Rejoice and be Glad:  Jesus is Here!" 
​We are so very grateful to be able to fully return to Mass and be with Jesus!  Keep up-to-date by following us on Facebook, downloading our STJMOD App, or sign up for our weekly e-newsletter. 

The Obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation was reinstated June 27.  We want everyone to return to Mass who can safely do so.  Those who are not comfortable attending in-person may request further dispensation from their pastor.  Those who are ill, vulnerable to serious illness, or caring for a vulnerable person have a serous reason to refrain from participation in Sunday Mass and do not need a special dispensation.  Remember, anytime we are around others, there is always the possibility of contracting an illness.   As has always been the case, we urge you not to attend Mass if you or another family member is unwell.  If you are fully vaccinated you may choose to not wear a mask, or you may continue wearing a mask.  If you are not fully vaccinated, you should wear a mask which covers the nose and mouth. ​July 19, 2021 Updated Mask Guidance from Stanislaus County Public Health: 
“With this highly infectious Delta variant spreading, fully vaccinated people may want the extra protection of wearing a mask indoors. ” County public health recommended that older people and those with risk factors should wear a mask in indoor public settings, even if they are vaccinated. Masks are recommended for people 65 or older and for those who live with an older person in that age group.

2020-2021: Not your average
​Stewardship Renewal!​

Our 2020-2021 Stewardship Renewal (when we make our annual plan for prayer, service and generosity) is not an ordinary Stewardship Renewal! Instead, we are looking for everyone to participate, in some way, because everyone can. Everyone can offer prayer, they can contemplate how to serve – we have many new ministries planned for 2021 – and can offer their generosity as they are able. Have a new idea, a ministry or work that you would like to have in our parish? Tell us. 2021 is the year that we want to "rejoice and be glad!" and we can do this with our Renewal.
