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

July 14
We have received word from a number of sources that Alejandro Sullon has been offering his services as a Bishop to celebrate Sacraments. He presents himself as the ‘Bishop of Bakersfield’. He is from Peru and also advertises himself as the Bishop of the Diocese of the Lord of Divine Mercy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Cf: his short piece on YouTube – “Obispo Peruano en California. Monsenor Alejanddro Sullon” He was consecrated a Bishop in the Old Catholic Church by “Archbishop” José Luís Ramírez [ Old Catholic ] for the Archdiocese of the Most Holy Trinity of Bakersfield, California. Most recently we received word that “Bishop” Sullon will hold a First Communion and Confirmation celebration in Patterson on 10 November 2018 at the FDES Hall and is gathering applications for the reception of the Sacraments. Sullon is not a Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, he is not in union with Pope Francis nor with the Bishop of Stockton. He has no permission or faculties to celebrate Sacraments in the Diocese of Stockton. -
