Parish Mission Statement

To Enable Parishioners to Live Their Christian Vocation in the World.

Our Parish 

The Catholic community of Saint Joseph is more than just friendly people, good homilies, and interesting activities. Most importantly, we gather around the person of Jesus Christ to worship God and live in the light of the Holy Spirit. The community of Saint Joseph comes together with the Holy Spirit at Mass, in the Sacraments, and in parish activities to pray, to celebrate joys, to mourn losses, to serve others, to provide support, and to receive strength for daily life. Our community recognizes the importance of walking with others toward the union with God.

Saint Joseph Parish is committed to the principles of stewardship and full lay-member participation in the life of the parish community. Saint Joseph Parish has many ministries to support parishioners as well as individuals and groups outside of our small community. We serve and offer support through our abundant ministries including: Liturgy, Human Concerns, Respect Life, Spiritual Enrichment, Religious Education, Sacramental Prep, and Community Services. We serve over 1750 Roman Catholic families in the Mendham area.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted those living in poverty the most and Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson's 3 Food Pantries (Father English Center, Paterson; Hope House, Dover; and Partnership for Social Services, Franklin) are giving out more food than ever before.
 
Most months, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson gives out food to 5,000 - 7,000 people at their 3 food pantries. In April of 2020, this number practically doubled, as they helped over 11,000 individuals who are feeling the direct economic impact of COVID-19.

Bishop Serratelli has authorized a Catholic Charities Diocesan-wide food collection in all parishes.  This year, the drive has gone virtual, and you can shop online and have items directly shipped to Catholic Charities Food Pantries.
