     Welcome to the website of Saint Joseph parish community, which has served Bogota and south Teaneck since the first Mass was offered at the Bogota fire hall in June 1913.  Over 2,000 households are part of our parish community.  We offer so many different activities and ministries in our parish for families, children and the community.  Thank you for visiting our newly re-designed web site.  We look forward to hearing from you.

St. Joseph's Ministry Fair
June 13th and 14th
After all the Masses


“Getting Hooked on Ministry”
 

“What I do you cannot do; but what you do, I cannot do. The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.” – Mother Teresa


Are you hearing a call to do something small with love for the Lord?


Come to the Ministry Fair and see all the different ways to answer the call.

 

 


 

FOCA (Freedom of Choice Act)

   

A Radical Threat to Human Life

 

We are facing the most serious threat to pro-life policies ever – the “Freedom of Choice Act”, or FOCA.  The bill would create a right to abortion the government could not limit and bring about a national abortion policy far worse then the US Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision.  For the first time, abortion would become an entitlement the government must fund and promote.  Citizens would lose the freedom they now have to enact even modest regulation of the abortion industry.

 

   FOCA would:

  • Eliminate regulations that protect women from unsafe clinics and unscrupulous abortionists

  • Force American taxpayers to fund abortions

  • Force every state to allow partial–birth abortions.  Its sponsors have said a primary purpose of the bill is to ensure that killing partially born children will again be permitted nationwide.

  • Run roughshod over the conscience rights of physicians, nurses and hospitals that oppose abortion on religious, moral or ethical grounds

  • Strip parents of their right and responsibility to be involved in their minor daughter’s abortion decision.

 

Simply put, if FOCA becomes law, it will put at risk all the widely supported laws that for 35 years have promoted women’s health, ensured informed consent, protected minors, ensured parental involvement, safe-guarded rights of conscience, and respected the desire of most citizens not to support abortion with their tax dollars.  

 

There are postcards available at our parish for you to send to your state representatives in Washington DC.  They will be distributed the weekend of

January 31st and February 1st at all the Masses

 

For more information visit www.nchla.org and www.usccb.org/prolife/issues/FOCA

Your help is urgently needed! Please take action today!

 

 


 

Saint Joseph's Parish Mission Statement

 

We, the people of Saint Joseph’s Parish, by the grace of God, born again in the waters of Baptism, seek to create a community where our mutual faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior, encourages us to continue growing as disciples.  We believe that discipleship is a way of life.   We strive to show that we are committed disciples, eager to welcome the stranger, to feed the hungry, to shelter the homeless, and to comfort the bereaved.  Inspired by God’s word and nourished by the Eucharist, we pledge ourselves to active discipleship all for God’s great glory and honor.
