Been away from the church and thinking about reconnecting? Looking for a church for worship and celebration?

St. Joseph Catholic Church in Wauwatosa welcomes you!

We are all pilgrim people on different legs of the journey home. At St. Joseph, we pray for all to encounter Christ, be transformed by Christ, and accept Christ's commission to spread the Gospel.

If you've been away from the church for a long time or short time, you're still welcome at God's home! If you are coming from another faith tradition or no tradition at all, we welcome you home to the Church founded by Jesus and expanded by his apostles to all people.

We're happy to answer questions about our parish, about the Mass, about the Catholic Church today, and about how we as a parish can serve you.

As Catholic Christians, we are evangelical in our commitment to sharing Christ as commissioned through our baptisms. And we are apostolic in carrying on the mission Christ entrusted to the Apostles and to his church.

If you are ready for more, we have ministries and programs to support people returning to active parish life. Among those programs is RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults that will help bring you fully into the Church. We also have a Rite of Christian Initiation for Children program.

Call adult ministry director Peter Andrastek with any questions or needs - 414-771-4626, ext. 110, or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
