St. Joseph Church in Conway, Arkansas
St. Joseph Church in Conway, Arkansas is where Charlie spoke about Maryknoll and mission this weekend. The parish is more than 125 years old, originally established for a mainly German group of migrants.
St. Joseph Church St. Joseph is staffed by the Spiritan priests, also previously known as the Holy Ghost Fathers. At present they have one priest from Arkansas, one from Africa, and one from Eastern Europe. They have mass at 5:00 PM on Saturday and at 7:30, 10:45, 12:00, and 5:00 PM on Sundays.

The main church is a recent addition to the original building which became a small chapel for daily masses and perpetual adoration. The new church is unusual in that it is very wide to accommodate a large number of people but without any supporting columns to block the view.
