Ready to return to Mass? We are ready for you!

St. Joseph continues to follow COVID-related health and safety measures for the public celebration of Mass. Weekend Masses are 4 p.m. Saturday, and 8 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday.

Those measures have allowed us to safely celebrate Mass each weekend, and twice-a-week daily Masses for parishioners. We have increased our capacity for Mass attendance, but we have not let down our guard for health safety.

Here's what you can expect at Mass:

1. Enter at the Center Street entrance only. You may leave via any door.
2. Seating is allowed only in every other pew. That allows recommended distancing.
3. Masks are required in church at all times, except when receiving communion. We are subject to the state's mask mandate, and that of the City of Wauwatosa. Please comply. Wauwatosa is monitoring compliance; we could lose our ability to have public Masses if we are found out of compliance. If you forget your mask, ask an usher for one.
4. Communion is distributed only in the form of the Body of Christ. Recipients should hold their hands as flat as possible so the communion distributor can place the host on the hand without making skin contact.
5. For the time being, we have a limited number of communion distributors at each Mass.
6. Communicants approach the distributor in a different manner; ushers will guide you.
7. Single-use music sheets are available at the Center Street entrance. After Mass, place them in the paper grocery bag in the Center Street entrance, for recycling.
8. Contributions should be placed in the basket at the Center Street entrance.
9. Pews, kneelers, door handles and other surfaces are sanitized after Mass.

We continue to update our website with the latest information relating to Mass and parish activities during the pandemic. See our COVID-19 page.
