About Us...
Our parish was first started as a mission of the Catholic Church in Petaluma in 1914. It officially became a parish in 1918. St. Joseph Catholic Church in Cotati, CA is dedicated to the Universal Call to Holiness. In other words, your sanctity in your ordinary life.

It gives me great joy to share with you that our parish now has a subscription to FORMED, a premier online platform filled with over 4,000 Catholic studies, movies, audio dramas, talks, e-books, and even cartoons for our children.
FORMED has content from over 60 apostolates, including Augustine Institute, Ignatius Press, and the Knights of Columbus, with material that is professionally produced, engaging, and solid in its catechism. Best of all, this material is free to you.
Much of FORMED’s content is available in both English and Spanish. Click HERE to sign up for FORMED.
My hope is that you feel welcomed and St. Joseph’s Catholic Church and make it your spiritual home.
I look forward to meeting you.

The memorial of Saint Joseph the worker occurs on Friday May 1st. We will have a Spanish mass at 7:00 PM, aside from our 9:00 AM English. It is customary to bless tools or other equipment for work on this day. Therefore, Fr. Raul will have a blessing of the tools and other equipment used for work on Friday May 1st at 6:00 PM in the parking lot just north of the BBQ area. You are welcome to bring your toolboxes or some of your favorite tools or equipment to the blessing. Please be punctual as the ceremony only takes a few minutes. St. Joseph the worker, pray for us.

Raúl celebrará la bendición de herramientas u otro equipo de trabajo el viernes 1º de mayo a las 6:00 PM en el estacionamiento al norte del área de BBQ. Pueden traer sus cajas de herramientas o algunas de sus herramientas o equipos favoritos a la bendición. Por favor, sean puntuales, ya que la ceremonia solo dura unos minutos.
