MISSION STATEMENT

We, the people of St. Joseph Catholic Parish of Prairie du Rocher, Illinois, are called to give witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ through our worship and prayer, through the fostering of a community of faith and through service to our neighbors. We are centered in the Eucharist and united in the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to nurture our individual spiritual growth while caring for one another with compassion and love.

Heavenly Father - heal our parish, our priest, and our families.
By your Divine Mercy, transform us into the people you had always hoped we would be.
Draw us closer to you, and send your Holy Spirit to heal, renew and restore us.
​We ask this through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord and Healer. Amen.
