Our parish of St. Joseph’s was founded in 1890
and our Mission Statement is as follows:
St. Joseph Parish is a community of Roman Catholics
established within the Diocese of Worcester.
Nourished through Word and
Sacrament, we are grateful to
the Father, are attentive to
the Holy Spirit and follow
Our Lord Jesus Christ.
We give witness to our
participation in the
Body of Christ by
welcoming, evangelizing,
and serving all whom
we encounter,
especially the poor.
St. Joseph and
Our Lady of
LaSalette pray for us.

St. Joseph’s Parish is a Catholic Christian
community of disciples of Jesus Christ. We believe
everyone is called to be on a spiritual journey and
what matters is not where a person is on that
journey but that they are actually on the journey
itself. We seek to welcome all people regardless of
the stage of their spiritual life, their struggles and
failures. We are a hospital for sinners, not a hotel
for Saints.
Partners in Charity The Partners in Charity,
formerly known as the Bishops Fund, is the annual
appeal for the Diocese of Worcester, serving 28
charitable, educational and pastoral ministries.
Through your generous support we are able to
serve thousands of families and individuals in the
Worcester County through outreach, formation,
evangelization and worship. St. Joseph’s Fitchburg parish goal is $32,000
