St. Joseph Church is a vibrant parish of Roman Catholics in Wauwatosa, Brookfield, Elm Grove and western Milwaukee. We are a family devoted to experiencing Jesus through prayer, formation and service.
Our life is centered around the Mass and supported by Bible study groups, prayer groups, and a wide variety of ministries, devotions and activities serving families, single people, children, young adults and senior citizens.
We strive to be a place were people encounter Christ, are transformed by Christ and accept Christ's commission to spread the Gospel.
Evangelical, Apostolic, Catholic Christians
As baptized Christians, we are evangelical and share Christ with others. As Roman Catholics, we are apostolic in carrying on and sharing the Gospel message entrusted to the Apostles and his Church by Jesus Christ. We are part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee, and carry on the legacy of one of the oldest parishes in the archdiocese.
We are blessed with strong participation, excellent preaching and outstanding singing in our Masses. Our pastoral administator is Fr. Justin Lopina – the 19th pastor in the history of our congregation. He is supported in liturgies by Deacon Jose Gonzales and Deacon Kurt Peot.
Approximately 900 households are registered with the parish, and more than 200 students attend our day school in grades K3 through 8. Hundreds more children, young people and adults learn more about their Catholic faith through our Catholic Formation initiatives.
