Scheduling your Baptism: Parents are required to participate in a Baptismal Class before having their child baptized. This informative class reminds us of what Baptism means in our Catholic Faith, the role of a godparent and how to select godparents, and schedule a baptism date.
​
Baptisms are generally scheduled during one of our weekend Masses. Special arrangements outside of Mass may be accommodated.​
​
To schedule your baptism, please call the church office at 724-981-3232 or email StJosephChurchOffice@gmail.com.

Congratulations on your engagement! As with most milestones, there is an abundance of preparations, to which holds true in our Catholic Faith when scheduling a wedding. A couple will need to contact the pastor six months in advance prior to the wedding date.

At the Last Supper, Jesus ordained the 12 Apostles to continue his saving work throughout the world and throughout the centuries. The successors of the Apostles are the bishops and priests of today. The Sacrament of Holy Orders confers upon designated men the spiritual power to teach, lead and sanctify in the name of Jesus. There are three levels to the Sacrament of Holy Orders: Diaconate, Presbyterate (priesthood) and Episcopacy (bishops). The Sacrament of Holy Orders allows a man to teach and act in the person of the risen Jesus—particularly in the celebration of the sacraments for God’s people.
