Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

This Christmas, we warmly invite you to join the St. Gaspar Family of Parishes for joyful and reverent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Masses as we celebrate the Nativity of the Lord.

As we gather to honor the birth of our Savior, we welcome you to experience the beauty of Catholic Christmas worship, uplifting music, and prayerful community at our parish churches across Dayton. Whether you are returning home for the holidays, visiting from out of town, or seeking a spiritual home, you are welcome here.

Come Brunch with Us!

Join us after the 10:30 am Mass for Brunch with Us on Sunday! This is a monthly tradition at St. Joseph that takes place on the second Sunday of the month, after the 10:30 am Mass at St. Joseph Parish Center. This is much more than coffee and donuts! Enjoy an array of homemade breakfast casseroles, rolls, muffins, and other treats.

Please consider bringing a dish to share. Items can be dropped off before Mass, starting at 10:00 am. All are welcome!
