The miracle of God's closeness touches those who walk and pray here at the Shrine of St. Joseph. Fr. Thomas Augustine Judge, founder of the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity, believed that 'It is in the ordinary existence of one's life that the extraordinary happens.' His vision energizes our mission to nourish spiritual growth. In doing so, we foster development of individual gifts, strengthening our resolve to discover what God seeks of us in our daily lives. This is our vision and our mission. We invite you to join us here on your faith journey. |

The sacredness of these grounds expresses itself in people being energized to share their gifts with others.
The Shrine of St. Joseph, a missionary shrine, has been an established center of The Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity (now also known as Trinity Missionaries) since 1924. We offer daily Mass and Reconciliation, Sunday devotions to St. Joseph, student retreats and days of renewal, pilgrimages, faith enhancement programs, ecumenical encounters and spiritual enlightenment. To everyone, we offer a place of peacefulness, a bit of calm, quiet, and prayerfulness in a hectic world. A place to connect with God.
Whether your faith journey points to an occasional trip to the Shrine of St. Joseph or frequent visits, whether it is taken in the silence of our glorious chapel or in the serenity of nature, your faith journey transcends the ordinary as you encounter God's presence here on these grounds.
Come join us in our scheduled masses and events, walk our grounds, spend quiet time in our chapel. Ask how you might share your gifts with others. You are always welcome. . .
