We are pleased to announce that St. Joseph Church will return to its normal schedule this week.
The remaining tuckpointing work will not interfere with our regular 8:00 a.m. Masses, so Tuesday and Thursday Masses will once again be celebrated at St. Joseph as usual.
However, we will not have Adoration on Thursday this week, as some remaining work still needs to be completed.
Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this project. The work has already made a noticeable improvement to the church, and we look forward to its completion.

If you see Seminarian Ben around.

Meet the seminarian serving Ste. Genevieve Parish and VMY this summer!

Hello everyone! My name is Ben Klevorn, and I just completed my second year of seminary for the Archdiocese of St. Louis. This fall, I will start my Discipleship II year, meaning I will be in my second year of studying philosophy. In addition to living at Ste. Genevieve this summer, I am helping with Vincentian Marian Youth (VMY) as an intern—helping lead youth group, young adult video series, Operation Overhaul, among many other things!

I grew up in Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in South St. Louis City and was blessed to have been raised well in the Catholic Faith. Before seminary, I graduated with an accounting degree from the University of Nebraska in 2024. My two years in the seminary have been an incredible gift, where I have come to know and love Jesus and His Church on a deeper level.

I am grateful that the Lord has called me to be present to this wonderful parish and youth ministry this summer. Things feel different here compared to my home in the City, but the adjustment to "rural" life has gone well! Let's keep one another in our prayers this summer.
