Mission Driven Parish and Ministries
Committed to parishioner-led ministries, St. Joseph's embraces the mission driven model of parish ministry. Through prayer, faith sharing, catechesis and lifelong learning, parishioners are empowered along with parish staff to lead the key ministries and priorities of the parish.
The Parish Pastoral Council is a representative group of parishioners at large and chairs of ministry leadership teams. Our 7 major areas of ministry, each with its own ministry leadership team, are:- Worship
- Faith for Life
- Youth Ministry
- Pastoral Care
- Social Outreach
- Stewardship and Community Building
- Operations
The Finance Council oversees the financial health and vibrancy of the parish.Parish Pastoral Council
The St. Joseph’s Parish Council, in keeping with guidelines provided by the Diocese of Rochester, is a consultative body to the pastor who receives from our Bishop the responsibility to be his local presence and to share the shepherding roles of teaching, sanctifying, and governing in our parish.
The St. Joseph’s Parish Council seeks to build, strengthen and nourish faith and to empower members by encouraging critical thinking and ownership. All efforts are rooted in the challenge of the gospel and flow from the community’s prayers, gifts and needs as we gather around the Eucharistic table to express and intensify our relationship to one another in the priestly ministry of Jesus Christ.
Pastoral Council purposes:- To form community as a sign and witness of unity for the larger St. Joseph’s parish community;
- To provide recommendations for parish priorities, directions and policies through pastoral planning;
- To promote communication, understanding, and collaboration among parish organizations and between the parish, the Diocese and the universal Church.

Council Membership
In forming community, council members are challenged to ongoing renewal through prayer, study, listening, and dialogue. In developing priorities and directions for the parish, the council is to become the means of achieving full participation by the whole parish community in its mission by giving all a voice in guiding and directing parish life.
