Joseph and Dorothy were very involved in their Catholic faith. Dorothy helped with religious education (CCD) when her children were younger. She was a den mother when her son was in the Cub Scouts.

For a period of time Dorothy took care of a number of foster children on a temporary basis.

 Joseph eventually became a permanent deacon. Dorothy assisted her husband a great deal in his ministry, especially with the RCIA program (helping adults enter the Catholic Church) and with baptisms. She also helped with the Food Pantry, Bereavement Committee, Peace and Justice Committee, and the Worship Committee.
