We invite you to formally join our parish by attending a New Parishioner Welcome Gathering.

The purpose of our gatherings is to personally welcome all participants to St. Joseph of the Lakes Catholic Church. These events create a community for new people as we are introduced to one another and to staff. Information on a variety of ministries is shared, along with a tour of our facilities. New parishioners get a snapshot of the parish history, have an opportunity to ask questions and receive a welcome bag.

New parishioner events are held throughout the year on Sunday mornings after the 8:30 am Mass. Call the Parish office at (651) 784-3015 to sign up for the event. Childcare is offered free for ages 1 and up. Please pre-register for childcare by calling (651) 784-3015 ext. 113. Families interested in joining our parish who are unable to attend the welcome event can contact our Parish Administrator Amy Moore to make arrangements for registration.
