About St. Joseph Catholic Church

St. Joseph Catholic Church in Westphalia, Missouri was founded in 1835, the same year the town itself was established, making the parish inseparable from the community's identity for nearly two centuries. Under Pastor Father Dylan Schrader, the parish serves more than 450 families and maintains a Catholic school, daily morning Masses, and a Saturday vigil livestreamed for those who cannot attend in person. An annual Corpus Christi procession and shared Mass times with St. Anthony in Folk reflect the parish's deep rural roots in the Diocese of Jefferson City.
