Welcome to Your Parish
1A Song of Ascents. I I raise my eyes towards the mountains. From where will my help come? 2My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
7The Lord will guard you from all evil and will always guard your life. 8The Lord will guard your coming and going both now and forever.Psalm 121: 1-2, 7-8
Your Parish is here to nurture your spiritual needs and experiences in the mountains by keeping your Catholic Faith alive. The St. Joseph Catholic Community invites you to join our daily and Sunday Mass Celebrations held throughout Mono County.
Please see our Mass Schedule for St. Joseph Church in Mammoth Lakes, Our Savior of the Mountains Mission in Lee Vining, the Infant of Prague Mission in Bridgeport, and Our Lady of the Valley Chapel in Coleville.
We thank you for your prayers and generous gifts as we come together as one family from near and far away places. In keeping Fr. Andy’s memory alive, “Mammoth Lakes is truly God’s Country,” which keeps calling us back.” -
In this time of pandemic, the Church is not deserted; it is deployed. You are the Church.
Happy Easter! -

Prayer for Spiritual Communion, and Mass Responses
Composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori in the 18th century, this prayer for Spiritual Communion is especially applicable to livestream or online Masses (from Our Catholic Prayers).
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Bishop's Ministry Appeal
The theme for the 2020 Bishop’s Ministry Appeal is “Becoming the heart, hands and voice of God.” Some of the ministries that help us do this are Permanent Diaconate (ministers in outreach programs to the poor and celebrates family life through weddings, baptisms and funerals); Youth and Young Adults Ministry (creates connections by offering leadership training), Hispanic Ministry (develops youth and young adult leaders in the Latino community), and many other needed services best provided at the diocesan level.
The assigned goal for our Parish is to raise $23,591. Please help us to reach the goal with your generous donations made through pledges or in the various special second collections to be held throughout the year.
