"The Little Church in the Woods"
We welcome you to St. Joachim Church to experience the caring, enthusiastic warmth of our parish family. We worship and praise our Lord Jesus Christ by devoting ourselves to being good stewards and disciples of God.
Children are always welcome to our celebrations of the word of God. We offer a special Children's Liturgy each Sunday at 10:30 am mass.
We invite visitors to register in our parish by calling the office or filling out the registration form in the office lobby.
