In 2009 two neighboring parishes joined to form St. Joseph the Worker Parish with two worship sites, formerly called St Joseph Church in Richfield Springs (founded in 1872) and St. Joseph Church in West Winfield (founded in 1874).
Parish records are kept at the parish office in Richfield Springs. The pastor resides at the rectory in West Winfield.
The parish serves Richfield Springs, West Winfield, and surrounding areas including Otsego, Richfield, Warren, Exeter, Columbia, Plainfield, Bridgewater, Litchfield, Brookfield, and Edmeston.
