WELCOME to the Catholic faith community of St. Joseph in Stringtown and encompassing the Eastern portion of Richland County of Illinois from the time of our erection in 1841.

Under the protection of the Mother of God, we are a faith community called by the Father, energized by the Son, and moved by the Spirit to unite in witnessing and proclaiming the Good News.  We share in friendship, gather in worship, and do proclaim our desire to minister, welcome, celebrate and extend His Kingdom.
