In Loving Memory of our own Deacon Jack Peters who passed last Sunday, Sept. 19^th.   He was ordained  a Deacon on June 3, 1995 by Cardinal O'Connor and served St. Joseph's parish for more than 20 years. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated here at St. Joseph’s on Saturday. Please keep Deacon Jack and his family in your prayers as we remember him and all of the work he did for our parish.

Thank you for sending in your Parish Registration Forms. It is important that every household completes a new form.

If you haven't already, please use this Parish Registration Form to register.

We really do have to update our parish registration forms. The information we have limits the way we can communicate with our parishioners- something extremely critical in the current situation. We were waiting for a new Archdiocesan format to be established in June, but we decided this would be an excelllant time to conduct a parish registration. Use the form at the link above, especially for new parishioners. The form has also been mailed to all parishioners we have currently registered to update your information. Please take the time to complete the form and mail it back to the parish. Thank you, Msgr. Desmond

We, the people of God of Saint Joseph Roman Catholic community, Empowered by the Holy Spirit, must manifest to the city of Kingston, New York, and to the world, a clear vision of God's plan for His kingdom as we strive to grow in relationship with Jesus Christ, one another, and the universal Church.

We endeavor to be a welcoming parish, and are dedicated to creating an environment of faith through Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, Sacred Liturgy and by the reception of the Holy Sacraments, study, stewardship, and action, so that in union with our Triune Godhead, we may build up the Kingdom of God. Sharing these ministries, as the Mystical Body of Christ, we as the People of God at St. Joseph Parish challenge ourselves to witness to the truth of His Church in Word and Deed to one and all.

Monsignor Desmond, Father Cyprien and Staff

"St. Joseph's Parish celebrated its Diamond Jubilee in 1943. The occasion was marked by the publication of the Diamond Jubilee Journal, but the joy of the parishioners was marred because of World War II, with many parish sons in battle across the Atlantic and Pacific and the restrictions at home in their severest and most critical stage."
