St Joseph
Catholic Parish
WELCOME!
My Dear Friends:
​
​Welcome to our Catholic faith community.
​
​Our parish community is involved in many aspects of service. Our many volunteers truly help to make our Church a welcoming place to worship God and enter a profound experience with Jesus. There are many groups and activities in our parish, we hope you can join one.
​
​We are grateful to parents who bring their child(ren) to our Masses, it is nice to hear life in the Church. If you have a child in JK to grade 2 we offer a children’s liturgy at our 10:15 Mass throughout the school year.
​
​We always strive to bring the message of love and mercy of Jesus to all who come to our parish. If you are a long-time parishioner or a new parishioner or a visitor, we welcome you with open arms and hope you truly have a wonderful encounter with Jesus at St Joseph.
​
​Yours in Christ,
​
​Fr. Jeff Bergsma
Pastor – St. Joseph Parish

Constantly called to renewal, the Church of God, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, seeks always to respond to the needs of her people in every age. Desiring to support the work of the Holy Spirit in the Diocese of Hamilton, Forward Together in Christ was initiated to help the Bishop of Hamilton discern the best way to move the diocese forward after the struggles and limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Once a committee was established, consisting of representatives from the clergy, chancery staff and lay pastoral ministry, it was decided to gather the priests, the permanent deacons, and the paid lay pastoral ministers of the diocese to consult them on three questions.
