As part of the first year of the National Eucharistic Revival, called the Year of the Diocesan Revival (June 19, 2022 – June 11, 2023), our Archdiocese is responding to the Lord’s personal invitation by preparing a vast array of eucharistic events for the faithful. Visit https://archny.org/eucharisticrevival/adny/ for more info.

St. Joseph’s has always offered many opportunities to spend precious time with Jesus in addition to Mass.
+ Each Monday morning, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed after the 7:00AM Mass until the 9:00AM Mass begins.
+ The Miraculous Medal Novena is said at the close of each of those Masses. The Blessed           Sacrament will be exposed again from 1-3PM on Mondays only. The Divine Mercy Chaplet is prayed at 2:30PM followed by Benediction.
+ After the 5PM Teen Mass Sundays, our Teen Group Meetings always end with Adoration and Benediction.
+ During Lent, the Blessed Sacrament will be Exposed Fridays at 6PM in the Chapel before the Stations of the Cross and 4-5PM Saturday afternoons in the church during confession ending with Benediction just before the 5PM Mass.
+ Additionally, we will have Exposition from the end of the 9:30AM Mass on Sundays ending with Benediction just before the 11:30AM Mass.

Lent is a great time to experience the many aspects and traditions of our faith by participating in the services and activities scheduled. Please join us as we grow in faith together.

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.

"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."
