St. Joseph Catholic Church

SAINT JOSEPH CHURCH AND CHAPEL HAS NOT REOPENED AND IN PERSON CELEBRATION OF THE MASS IS NOT YET SCHEDULED.

However, we are making plans to reopen the Church and Chapel, but first we need to prepare for this day and meet the guidelines set forth by our State.

We are in need of volunteers to serve as ushers and sanitizers in connection with the Church's reopening for weekend Masses.

If you are interested in serving as an usher and/or sanitizer please click here and complete the form. We need your help to reopen and maintain the safety of the Church for weekend Masses.

Please continue to send your weekly offering to Saint Joseph's.  Your financial support during this difficult time is very important to keep our parish financially stable. 

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.  
 
Visit www.ccpaterson.org/corpus for more information and visit www.yougivegoods.com/ccpaterson-fooddrive2020 to find our parish (St. Joseph, Mendham), and shop for our pantries in need.  
 
You may also email: Info@ccpaterson.org or call (973) 737-2077 ext.403 with any questions or to donate food directly to Catholic Charities Food Pantries.

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. 

Those who visit the graves of loved ones at Saint Joseph Cemetery must observe all social distancing requirements and maintain a group of no more than 10 persons. These changes will remain in effect at each cemetery in our Diocese as long as health and safety regulations are observed.
