St. Joseph Catholic Church

In 1989, the new church built in 1927 was deemed unusable for parish use and Bishop Gracida authorized demolition of the building on January 23, 1989. The parish hall and the small Queen of Peace Chapel were utilized for regularly scheduled masses. A fundraising campaign for the construction of a new church building through Catholic Sharing Appeal began February, 1991. Construction began August, 1991 and formal dedication of the new church building was October 3, 1992. Bishop Rene H. Gracida concelebrated the dedication service to the seven hundred and sixty nine registered parish families. The pastor at St. Joseph Catholic Church is Fr. Patrick Donohoe.
