Pastoral Council
MinistriesThe Mission of the Saint Joseph Pastoral Council is “to act as an advisory body to the Rector and to provide counsel and support in the management of the affairs of the Cathedral”. The Council meets monthly at 6:30 p.m. on the last Tuesday of the month in the Cathedral Undercroft. Parishioners are welcome to attend Council meetings. Any parishioner wishing to address the Council should contact the President of the Council in advance of the meeting: Ed Hueckel.

“I have been a member of Saint Joseph Cathedral parish for over 35 years, serving first as a volunteer in the Choir for 22 years. Since then I have been honored to serve as Hospitality Minister, Server, Lector, Eucharistic Minister, and Master of Ceremonies. It is a pleasure to be part of this diverse community with members who come from all around the city. As Council President it is my goal to continue to build the parish “Family” with activities that build on the foundations of our faith. Welcome!”

“Welcome to our community! Although I live in the Gahanna area, I've been a member of the St. Joseph Cathedral parish for almost 5 years. This parish truly feels like a small community church in our busy downtown setting. In my professional life, I'm an adult medicine/geriatric/hospice nurse practitioner, educator, and administrator. Always focused on providing preventative and palliative care to both patients and their families in the Central Ohio area. I have really enjoyed serving within the eucharistic/hospitality/altar ministries having the privilege to interact with some wonderful people during my time here. Please check out the amazing and rewarding volunteering activities within this community.”
RCIA - Jake Neal
Rector Appointed - Lisa Emrich
“I was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 2015, after first devoting about five years to deliberate and prayerful discernment. My husband, John, and I have been members of our Cathedral parish since that time. I love our Cathedral community! I remember the first time I attended Sunday Mass at the Cathedral. Mary Alice Johnston welcomed me at the door and Father Lumpe was the celebrant. I knew I was home. It is with much joy that I join many wonderful people serving God through our Cathedral’s Liturgical Ministries, Pastoral Council, RCIA, and various activities.”
Member at Large - Kathleen Tourgeman
