Weekend Masses are celebrated on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. and on Sunday at 8:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 5:00 p.m., with a Spanish-language Mass on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. Weekday Masses are offered Tuesday through Saturday, with times varying by day, and a Spanish Mass is held on Thursday evenings. Confession is scheduled on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and reconciliation is also offered during Holy Hour on the first Friday and first Saturday of the month. One weekend Mass is recorded live on Facebook and YouTube.

Visitors are told to dress comfortably but conservatively, and worship aids in each pew explain the order of the Mass for those who are not Catholic. The parish lists sacramental preparation and faith formation, including first Communion, confirmation, Adoration, PSR classes, Bible study, and OCIA. Ministries include a Hispanic ministry, music ministry, Knights of Columbus council, St. Vincent de Paul conference, youth ministry, young adults, and campus ministry. St. Joseph School is part of the parish, and the parish office at 203 Plum Street is open Monday through Friday. Confirm Mass times on the website or in the bulletin.
