Why belong here
St. Joseph's is a small, neighborly Catholic parish with deep roots in Broadalbin since 1875, and it pairs its sacramental life (daily Mass, Saturday confessions, Anointing of the Sick) with active faith formation for children and youth, a music ministry, a Knights of Columbus council, a Rosary Society, a weekly prayer group, and outreach such as the parish thrift store. Joining this community means belonging to a congregation that proudly describes itself as "called to live the Gospel message of Jesus through Hospitality, Worship, Faith Formation and Service to others," and that brings the whole town together each July for the St. Joseph's Summer Festival.
