The parish history of St. Joseph’s goes back to 1922 when the Franciscan Friars opened a mission church on Comly Road in Lincoln Park. In 1945, Bishop McLaughlin advanced the mission to parish status and entrusted it to diocesan clergy, naming Father John Hewetson, as St. Joseph’s first pastor. According to the parish website, the parish today is guided by the principles of stewardship and the community continues the work of building the kingdom of God on earth.
