    A parish is much more than a fish fry... these reviews are ridiculous. A review should be evaluated…read moreby how the parish leads souls to Christ -- that's ultimately the mission of any parish. With that in mind, this parish has been a mixed experience for me. Architecturally speaking and in terms of interior design, it leans heavily toward a modernist, minimalist aesthetic that doesn't quite reflect the depth and richness of the Catholic tradition. The layout feels more akin to a Protestant worship space. The tabernacle is also placed off to the side by a window -- rather than in a central and prominent location -- which is a liturgical concern. While it's practical for outside adoration, it unintentionally downplays the centrality of the Eucharist, especially during the highest form of worship at the Mass. The Church teaching talks about the placement and design of sacred spaces matter -- not as personal preferences, but as visible signs of the veiled mysteries we celebrate. Beauty and reverence in church architecture help form the soul and draw us into deeper prayer. After all, the Mass is when Heaven and earth meet together. Imagine helping the faithful see that in the beauty of how the church is architected and design. This church is missing that overall. That said, the spiritual life of this parish has been a source of grace for me. The ability to stop by and adore Jesus in the adoration chapel almost daily has been great as it's a quiet and consistent reminder of His presence. The young adult group also gathers here weekly on Tuesday evenings, which has also been a major highlight. It's a faithful, encouraging community that's helps grow closer to Christ and connect with others on the same path. So while I hope to see this parish gradually move toward the sacred tradition that has been unfortunately lost throughout the Church ins parishes everywhere, I cannot deny the good fruit the parish does bear. Ultimately, this is a place where you can encounter Christ, deepen your prayer life, and be supported in your walk with Him -- and that's what matters most.

    We have been parishioners at St. Joes for 9 years and our daughter goes to the day school. We will…read moresend all of our children here. We couldn't be happier with our experience being a part of the church community here. Fr. Ron our pastor is a special leader and makes everyone feel welcome. His messaging is engaging and encourages participation in a gentle way. Maureen Goodwin, our principal is great! I would highly recommend St. Joseph Parish to anyone on the west side looking for a church home.
