Welcome! 

We hope that you will find the information about Saint Joseph Parish, Needham, MA helpful. The parish’s place in the life of the community is to inspire us in our faith. Saint Paul says that “we are the aroma of Christ” (2 Cor. 2:15). What sweetness, fragrance, and way of life do we bring to our family and workplace? It is our responsibility to witness Christ in the daily circumstances of our lives.

This web page enables you to reference the many apostolates that the good parishioners of Saint Joseph support. All of them, each in their own way, engage us to the prominence of the Church in our lives. Each of them points us to the centrality of the Eucharist and the sacraments as we seek the kingdom of heaven.

May we warmly invite you to participate in the parish and to make weekly Sunday Mass the center of your spiritual life. Pope Benedict XVI in his Apostolic Exhortation, Deus Caritas Est, (God is Love) reminds us how much God loves us, and how through an act of love on our part at Mass we say: “Lord, you know that I love you” (Jn. 21.16).
