About this church
St. Joseph Church schedules its weekend liturgies for Saturday at 5 p.m., Sunday at 8 and 10 a.m., and Sunday in Spanish at 11:30. Weekday Mass is offered Monday through Saturday at 8 a.m. The parish streams Mass and publishes digital worship aids for each Sunday liturgy, while also considering the return of physical books to the pews. Faith-formation registration is available online. Liturgical participation includes altar servers, Eucharistic ministers, lectors, hospitality ministers, music, sacristans, and environment volunteers, with hospitality ministers helping people find seats, distributing bulletins, and maintaining a prayerful setting.
The parish has served Bogota, Teaneck, and surrounding communities since 1913. Carmelites founded and staffed it for a century before responsibility moved to Archdiocese of Newark priests; religious sisters, lay teachers, councils, staff, and parishioners also shaped its work. Prayer and worship ministries include bereavement care, an English prayer group on third and fourth Tuesdays, Communion visits to hospitals, nursing homes, and homebound people, and music directed toward active congregational participation. The parish mission centers on baptismal identity, faith in Jesus, discipleship, mutual support, and serving as Christ's hands in the community. Direct confirmation is needed for Mass duration, Reconciliation hours, child care, what guests normally wear, where they park, support for mobility or hearing needs, and Eucharistic guidance for visitors who are not Catholic.
