About this church

St. Joseph Catholic Church in Erie celebrates weekend Mass Saturday at 4:00 p.m. and Sunday at 7:30 and 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Weekday Mass is Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. and Friday at 9:00 a.m. Reconciliation is offered Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:00 and the first Friday from 10:00 to 11:00, or by appointment. Eucharistic Adoration is available every day on a schedule that varies by day, mostly in the convent chapel. Children ages three through nine may attend Children’s Liturgy of the Word during the 10:30 Sunday Mass.

The parish is centered on the Eucharist, sacraments, faith formation, discipleship, and service. Religious-education classes serve kindergarten through eighth grade on Monday or Tuesday evenings, with separate sacramental requirements for First Communion and Confirmation. Practical care includes advance-request rides to Mass or medical appointments in Monroe or Toledo, friendly visits, weekday Communion, prayer shawls and blankets, seasonal food and coat drives, and a women’s prayer group on the third Wednesday. Founded from a French-Canadian Catholic settlement, St. Joseph dates its first log church to 1819 and its present brick building to 1851. The church is at 2214 Manhattan Street.
