About this church

Saint Joseph Cathedral is located at 145 Lowell Street in Manchester. Saturday Vigil Mass begins at 4:00 p.m.; Sunday Masses are at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Daily Mass is offered Monday through Friday at 7:00 a.m. and Saturday at 8:00.

Serving as the bishop’s church for the Diocese of Manchester, the cathedral hosts ordinations and major diocesan liturgies as well as parish worship. Its Gothic architecture and more than 150 years of history give visitors both spiritual and civic context. Family catechesis, youth activities, home visitation, a by-appointment food pantry, and a first-Friday club for young children extend parish life beyond Mass. The cathedral publishes detailed etiquette and Communion guidance, which newcomers should review if unfamiliar with Catholic worship. Livestream access is also available from the official homepage.
