Welcome!  The Mission of the Diocese of Oakland is “to know Christ better and to make Him better known.” This is truly the mission of every Christian person.

We at St. Joseph’s further this mission in our daily lives, our daily situations, and our daily encounters. Through our various programs, ministries and liturgies, we seek to guide one another on our Faith journey, coming to know the Lord more deeply and serving the Lord as we care for one another. On behalf of the entire community of St. Joseph’s, welcome!

 OUR COVENANT

 

      We gather as St. Joseph Community acknowledging that we live in God’s Covenant and that this Covenant is a sacred promise that invites real sharing of life. 

Together we gather to listen to the word of God and continue to learn to live as Jesus teaches.

 

      We may each live our own individual lives, but as members of St. Joseph Community our life changes.  We belong to a broader Christian community.  We are called to share with each other and the larger world community.  In this, our covenant with God and each other, we promise to dedicate our lives to serving God by serving others.

 

      To this end, we will further the Gospel by:

  • Living throughout the week the message we hear on Sunday.

  • Sharing ourselves and our material resources with those in need especially the poor and marginalized.

  • Financially supporting our parish and its ministries to serve and evangelize by allowing our giving to be thoughtful and led by our hearts.

      May our hearts be stretched to bring this Covenant to life by pledging our time, talent, prayers, energy and financial resources to the service of others. 

 

 

We lift up our spirits and our gifts to God through this Community Covenant.
