Chapel is open for Private Prayer Monday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM

For Saturday private prayer, we need you to sanitize your area before leaving. Sanitizer bottles and wipes will be found by the chapel entrance. Please sanitize the pew in which you sat, the kneeler below, and the area of the pew in front of where you sat.

Father Andrew will distribute Communion outside the Church by the cemetery at 9:45 AM through 10:15 AM (weather permitting). Please park your car and walk to Father Andrew stationed by the cemetery to receive Communion.
This is only for those who participate in the Sunday 9:00 AM live-stream Mass. It is a serious liturgical abuse to receive Communion without having attended Mass.
Masks are required. Please practice social distancing.

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.
