St. Joseph Church is a resort community parish serving all of Mono County. Our Church is located in Mammoth Lakes. Our Missions are located in Lee Vining and Bridgeport, with a Chapel in Coleville.
We invite you to come to one of our convenient Masses. Our Pastor, Father Jorge Román, is committed to bringing a valuable spiritual experience to all who attend services and works to ensure that the parish extends charity to those in need who request help.
Our Parish is made up of full-time parishioners, second homeowners, and visitors from all over the world. The full-time parishioners are a small group and this population tends to have a higher turnover than most parishes due to the nature of the recreational economy. Parish capacity has been directed to accommodating the large part-time parishioner population as well as the local members. Thus, the Parish is reliant on the generosity of its part-time parishioners to heat the Church and missions, blow the snow and make repairs. Our Priest has only a part-time staff person, so please be patient when calling in to schedule sacraments, appointments or to ask questions.
Over a decade ago, the former Parish Priest initiated a campaign to build a Parish Center to accommodate celebrations after marriages, Quinceañeras, and other sacraments as well as to provide areas for classes. This campaign raised funds to purchase nearby property, which is now available for building. However, costs have risen and this project of building funds is still in process.

Whether you’re here to fish, hike, camp, bike, ski, snowboard, kayak or otherwise enjoy the outdoors, please come to visit us. Everyone is welcome and we look forward to having you join us in celebrating Mass.
