The parish was founded on January 24, 1851, and worships in what its history identifies as Providence’s oldest continuously operating church building. St. Joseph describes itself as a welcoming Catholic community called to proclaim the Gospel locally through words, actions, and truth; its congregation includes area residents, college students, and visitors from varied backgrounds. Parish life centers on the Eucharist and includes baptism preparation, altar serving for children in third grade and older, Eucharistic ministry, greeters, and RCIA for adults exploring Catholic faith. Before a first visit, confirm seasonal schedules on the official site, since sacramental and holiday times can change.
