A MONTHLY CATHOLIC LETTER CLUB
A different church.
A letter for you.
Discover a different church each month through a printed letter, original photographs, and keepsakes delivered to your door.
Every letter begins
with a real church visit.
- Every church is visited in person.
- Every photograph is taken on site.
- Every letter is researched, written and assembled by hand, then kept in an archive of places worth remembering.
Inside the envelope
Here is a real past edition, from St. Bernadette in Scottsdale, Arizona. Every month brings a different church. See the Volume 6 gallery
02 / The photographs
Four photographs. Two cards.
Four original photographs printed on two double-sided 5 × 7 cards, taken on site. A closer look at the places, artwork, and details that make each church its own.
Card one: exterior and bright interior. Card two: the Marian painting and illuminated sanctuary.
03 / The collection
A place in your collection.
An archive card with the church’s details and an illustrated sticker of the building. Each edition adds another place to your collection.
The archive card design and the four photographs change with each edition.
04 / The rotating inserts
More from this visit.
This St. Bernadette edition included a ceiling panorama, A Small Signature, and a card about Fr. Pete Rossa. A small photo guide connects the images to the place.
Rotating inserts change from edition to edition. These are examples from Volume 6, not a fixed monthly set.
Volume 6 is a past edition. Your membership begins with the next scheduled release.
Included with every membership
A private online gallery for every edition.
Your envelope holds four photographs. As a member, you can also see the full set from each church online, at full size, on your phone or computer. Log in with the email you joined with. A new gallery opens on the 15th of each month. It is an extra: the letter stands on its own, no app needed.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE LETTER
I’m Greg.
My name is Greg Ochoa. I'm Catholic, I live in Las Vegas with my wife and our two kids, and I've been part of the Confraternity of St. Joseph at my parish for over three years.
Each month I visit a different church, photograph it on site, write a reflection inspired by the space, and design a sticker of the building. Then I print it, assemble it, and mail it myself. Every edition is a limited physical release. Once it's mailed, it's part of the archive.
St. Joseph left no recorded words in Scripture. No sermons, no letters. His example has shaped how I approach my faith and this work, so in a way these are the only letters he has ever written in my life. That's why it's called Letters From Joseph.
This is an independent project, not affiliated with any parish or diocese.
A few things to know.
What will I receive each month?
A personal letter, four original photographs printed on two double-sided 5 × 7 cards, a collectible archive card, a church sticker, and rotating inserts, all in an illustrated envelope with a photographic liner. Each edition explores a different church.
When will my first letter ship?
Editions mail on or around the 15th of each month, or the next business day when it falls on a Sunday or holiday. Your first edition is the next one to ship. Shipping day is not arrival day; delivery time depends on the postal service and your destination.
Is shipping included? Is there tracking?
Shipping is included worldwide. Editions travel by standard letter mail without tracking. Please check your shipping address when you join. Read the shipping details.
Can I cancel my membership?
Yes. Monthly members can cancel online anytime before their next billing date. The annual membership is paid for the year and renews at $150 unless you turn renewal off; you can do that anytime, and the rest of your 12 editions still arrive. For help, visit the FAQ or email hello@lettersfromjoseph.com.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. Choose 3, 6 or 12 months on the gift page and add your note there. You pay once and it never renews. At checkout, put their name and address under Shipping. Your note is printed on a small card in their first envelope.
Can I buy a past edition?
Yes. Past editions are $15 each, $12 for members, and $13 each when you buy 3 or more. You can also get every past edition at once for $12 each. Each order is mailed within a few days. See past editions
Will I receive the edition pictured here?
