If you wish to have your child baptized, please contact the parish office to set up a time for preparation and the date of Baptism.

Baptism Registration Form

Every other year the 8th and 9th graders of our parish are confirmed by the bishop or his delegate. Preparation for Confirmation occurs in the Religious Education Programs.

The Eucharist, the Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood, is the Source and Summit of our lives as Christians.  Preparation for First Holy Communion usually takes place in second grade or in the RCIA program for adults.

Find the Mass Schedule here.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered every Saturday at 10:15 am after Mass at St. Joseph. It is offered at 5:15 pm after Mass at Our Lady of Hope, Kinsman and Saturday at 3:00 PM at Our Lady of Hope, Andover. Confessions are also available by appointment. 

If you or someone in your family is sick and in need of the Sacrament of the Anointing, call the parish office to arrange for a visit from the parish priest.  Please do not wait until the last minutes before death to call.  Also, if you or a family member is in the hospital, and wish to be visited by a priest, please call the parish office or ask that the hospital contact us.

In order to set a date for the Wedding Ceremony, the couple must meet in person with the pastor. At least one of the parties must be a practicing Catholic, who has been Confirmed, attends Mass weekly, and is an active member of their parish for at least one year. The preparation of the couple with the pastor must begin at least six months prior to the wedding date.

If you think that God may be calling you to be a priest or a permanent deacon, please contact the pastor.  Visit www.youngstownvocations.org for more information about vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
