Join Us

Our Vision:

“St. Joseph Catholic Church seeks to be an actively visible faith community that works to make disciples of Jesus Christ through our hospitality, education, sacraments, and service.”

Welcome to St. Joseph Church

We are a small but active faith community, comprised of 100 households from all over the Howard County area. Whether you are new to the area or just visiting, we would love for you to join us at Mass. Our family in faith is connected with the beautiful St. Mary Catholic Church in Glasgow, Missouri, and we encourage you to visit them as well. We hope this website is a helpful tool for you in learning about us and the Catholic Faith.

VOCATIONS

All Christians are called to service by virtue of their baptism. The call to priesthood and religious life is heard at various ages and circumstances of life; God’s call is often incarnated through the words, example, and support of others.

Help us to awaken the call within those called to ordination or vowed religious life.
