Join a Parish Committee

St. Joseph Parish is putting together three committees to help with events and needs surrounding the parish. Please join us at the meetings below if you are able to help.

Jesus Christ is God’s greatest gift to us. Stewardship tells us to share a portion of our time, talent and treasure so that God’s Gift, Jesus Christ, may be given to those who do not know Him. Many thanks to all those faithful and generous stewards who volunteer in our parish. Your time is worth everything to us!

Parish Planning Committee

Plain City is rapidly growing! Many new homes are under construction and more to come to the community. It is expected by 2030 that they'll be an additional 10,000 people in the Plain City community. The parish needs to plan for the future growth and to look at the needs to better serve our own Catholic community here in Plain City. 

The committee will work on making a strategic plan and to look at the future possibilities and the needs of a new church and development of the Parish grounds. All interested parishioners are welcome to be part of this discussion.
