"Faith, Family and Formation" is the title of Deacon Tony's first book, now available locally at the church, PAC, Generations and online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It is the story of his physical and spiritual journey from the age of four to his present age of seventy-seven. With a forward written by Bishop Emeritus James Griffin and reviewer comments by Father Rod Damico, Deacon Phil Paulucci, and parishioner Gloria Butler, it is an easy read for folks of all ages.

Deacon Tony is happy to announce the publication of his second book, “Reflections for Everyday Life,” a series of short reflections based on his Sunday homilies over the last 24 years.

NOTE: The cost of each book is $12.95, with all proceeds being donated to local charities. Since Amazon and other on-line vendors keep 40% plus printing cost, more proceeds will go to charity if you purchase the book through Deacon Tony. 

The Village of Plain City is conducting street improvements on Gay Street, which may impact travel to the Church. The village office says that access to the church is considered local access and parishioners can use the street during construction, however occasionally there will be times the street is completely closed. Please visit the Construction page for more information and suggested access to parking.

St. Joseph has many ministries that are 100% dependent on YOU! As St. Teresa of Calcutta said, "In this life we can not always do great things. But we can do small things with GREAT love." Please contact the parish office for any ministries you are interested in.

Discover Jesus while sharing your gifts with your church!

O Mary, 
You always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope.

We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm.

You, Salvation of Your People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial.

Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings
and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection.

Amen.
