Four-Night Parish Mission with Fr. Wade Menezes

Location Graphic.png

St. Joseph

Please join us May 4-7, 2026 for a Parish Mission with Fr. Wade Menezes, CPM titled, "In Defense of Truth and Faith: Our Catholic Calling"


Save the Date! May 4 - 7 at St. Joseph Catholic Church

Challenging times call for challenging remedies.  In a day and age when “good is called evil and evil is called good” (Isaiah 5:20), we must learn to be committed to our pursuance of and living the Truth that our Faith demands of us.  Our Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation call us to these tasks, supported by regular reception of the Sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation.  The lives of the Saints, too, show us the way.  All of this gives us great hope, knowing full-well that the God Who calls us does not disappoint (Cf., Romans 10:8-17).  Come and be part of a challenging set of Conferences with a strong cultural message.
