Saint Joachim
Catholic Church
"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.

Updates From St. Joachim
As we resume public mass, St. Joachim is dedicated to your safety. We are sanitizing doors, door handles, pews, pew arm rests, worship books, and all surfaces before and after each Mass so you feel comfortable coming to worship! We can accommodate 35-40 people in the Church at a time. Please continue to practice social distancing while in Mass, and use your best judgement when deciding whether to attend Mass.
St. Joachim will resume Masses for the Saturday Vigil at 4:00 pm and Sunday Service at 8:30 & 10:30 am.
Weekday Mass will be held Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at Noon.
Please note that attending ANY Mass will fulfill your Sunday Obligation.
The Church will be open for private prayer and meditation at the following times:
Tuesday and Thursday: 11 am - 1 pm
Our food pantry is stocked and we will take calls for food requests. Please call the office to arrange a pickup time.
