History of our Church
The current building that houses St. Joseph's Church was completed in May of 1987.
Though it is indeed a relatively new structure, it stands upon the same ground and has the same historical roots as its predecessor, the original St. Joseph's Church, the beginnings of which go back to 1863.
It was in that year that Father Ignatius Paoli, C.P., Provincial of the Anglo-Irish Province of the Congregation of the Passion, and later Archbishop of Bucharest, stopped in Paris en route to a General Chapter of the Congregation in Rome. During his stay he met Father J.S. Rogerson, an English priest known as "the English chaplain", who told him of his efforts to find priests to minister to the growing English-speaking Roman Catholic population of Paris.
