Welcome to God’s Country
Whether you visit or live in Mammoth Lakes, you are blessed by a picturesque view of mountains that surround so many lakes for hiking, running, skiing, fishing, cycling, climbing, and more. In this magnificent paradise, you will find God through His creation and witness all His Glory. As Father Andy Dachauer often said,
“This is God’s Country!”
The Catholic Community of St. Joseph Parish invites you to join our daily and Sunday Mass Celebrations. 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.
As your other Parish away from home, we are here to nurture your spiritual experience in the mountains and to help keep your Faith alive in giving Glory to the Almighty for all His blessings.
The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky proclaims its builder’s craft.
Psalm 19:2
