Welcome to St. Joseph Catholic Church
A Legacy of Beauty and Faith
For over 175 years, St. Joseph parish has stood as a beacon of faith in Dayton, Ohio. Our beautiful Italian Byzantine church provides a sacred space for profound worship and the reception of God’s Sacraments. Our Catholic community is known for its outstanding music program and welcoming atmosphere. Beyond our historic sanctuary, our state-of-the-art Parish Center fosters connection and growth. Come experience the presence of God and the love of Christ within our thriving parish.
Prayer to Saint Joseph
O Glorious St. Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, to you we raise our hearts and hands to implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from the Merciful and Loving Heart of Jesus all the help and graces necessary for our spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly for the grace of a happy death, peace in the world and our families, and the special favor we now implore. O Guardian of the Word Incarnate, and Spouse of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Pray for us. Amen.
Our Purpose
As a diverse, welcoming Catholic family rooted in the Precious Blood of Jesus, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we provide spiritual direction through God’s Word and His Sacraments to guide our community to live as disciples of Jesus, who share His love and Good News.
We will be a vibrant, worshipping, sacrificial Catholic family who loves God and sees dignity in all humanity. As we are fed by the Eucharist and strengthened by the Holy Spirit, we will grow in our relationship with Jesus and serve those in our community.
