The Pastoral Council is a consultative body whose purpose is to assist the pastor and the pastoral staff in actualizing the mission of the parish.  Our mission at St. Joseph Church & School is this:  To strengthen marriage and the family through the sacramental life of the Church and to cultivate a shared commitment to the following areas of Christian life:  Conversion, Discipleship, and Evangelization.  The members of the Pastoral Council are leaders within the parish community and reflect the rich diversity of our parish.
