REMINDER WHEN HOSPITALIZED

 If you would like a visit from a member of the clergy when you are hospitalized, please notify the hospital staff upon admission that you are a parishioner of St. Joseph Church.  Other than getting a call at the Parish Office from you or a family member, this is the only way we are made aware of parishioners who are hospitalized.
