God has given each one of us gifts through the Holy Spirit, gifts that are meant to be shared! When we let God move us to love others through these gifts, the results are powerful! If you're not sure where God is calling you to serve, check out our "Ministries" section for help on discerning your gifts.
If you're ready to give away your gifts, sign up to help one of our many ministries below! It takes many hands to make the wheels of our large and vibrant parish turn... search your heart, roll up your sleeves, and SERVE LIKE JESUS!

Media & Secruity Ministry
We have multiple needs in our media and security ministries.
Our First Responder Emergency Detail (FRED) is a group of volunteers based here at Saint Joseph, who help in multiple different facets of our parish community. FRED isn’t just a security team, we hope to enlist others with any medical experience should anything happen at the parish on Sunday, from bee stings to low blood sugar. Our security aspect is more of being aware of the surroundings at Mass. Please consider joining our team.
We also have openings in our video and audio ministries as well as a need for Tech Support during our Religious Ed Classes.
Family Ministries encompass all stages of life, from "the womb to the tomb." Our immediate needs for volunteers include Baptism Assistants, Marriage Mentor Couples and Child Care Volunteers, but we will post more opportunites as our ministry continues to grow. Please consider giving of your time and talents and joining our group of dedicated volunteers!
