Nurturing the Parish's Mission Statement, St. Joseph warmly welcomes new parishioners and visitors and is not satisfied until each and every person who comes to our church, from vacationers and visitors to newcomers and old timers, feels relaxed and welcome. Please let us know how we can serve you. We invite you to participate in our activities, become involved in our parish ministries, and encourage you to register as soon as possible.

If you have not “formally” registered with the Parish Office, please take a moment to introduce yourself. Our pastor, Fr. Francis Katrinak, would like to meet you as well. You may fill out a form below (or through our St. Joseph Church app). Or if you prefer, contact us by phone (330-274-2253) or e-mail or stop by the Parish Office during business hours. A registration packet will be prepared for you to pick up at the Parish Office or the Mass you attend. We look forward to meeting you!

Registering As An Adult
As a young adult we invite you to register as an adult. Children are considered members with their parents until they turn 18 years old. Once they are 18, it is their responsibility to join a church family, participate in the Mass and to register as a member independent of their parents. This is especially true if you are past college age and beginning to live a life separate from your parents.
 
Not only does registering with your parish bring a sense of belonging and identity in a parish community, it also shows a commitment to practice your faith. Registration helps you stay connected with your parish and helps your parish stay connected with you. Providing your contact information is important so that the parish provides you timely updates via email, direct mail, phone, etc. Also, if you use offertory envelopes or online giving, you will also receive a year-end statement of your donations for income tax purposes. Registered active members are eligible for sponsor/godparent validation. In addition, it is helpful to learn more about all members so that ministries and programs can be developed and expanded to meet the needs and wants of everyone.
 
To register as an adult, simply contact me at the Parish Office (330-274-2253 or [email protected]) so that we may update your current information. If you do not wish to register with the parish as an adult or are no longer in the area, please let us know that as well. We look forward to talking with you.
