Mission Statement:

The Catholic Faith Community of St. Joseph has been a vital part of the Waite Park area and the Diocese of St. Cloud since Feburary 3, 1916. The parish school was established in 1920.

We are a welcoming community with rich diversity of gifts and ages whose faith is rooted in Jesus Christ.

We strive to be witnesses to Christ's presence and thereby build God's kingdom here on earth. Our needs are to build a stronger sense of community, educate young and old, strengthen family life, provide for spiritual growth, and enliven the active participation of all members in parish life.

Our dream is to be a Catholic community which--through worship, work, and recreation--invites everyone to share their gifts, ministers to one another, is an advocate for the powerless, is attentive to individual needs, and enters into a deeper relationship with God.
