We celebrated St. Joseph’s 175th Anniversary with Archbishop Charles Thompson on Aug. 16.
Fr. Chris Craig was also installed as the pastor of St. Joseph, St. Ann and St. Mary at this Mass by the archbishop. Deacon Larry French and Fr. Jonathan Meyer, former pastor, were also at the celebration, along with Benedictine Sister Joann Hunt who took up the gifts.
Below are photos from from the 175th celebration as well as some vintage photos from St. Joseph through the years that we used in various promotions for the event.
There is also a photo album, that has several photos of the reception, etc., that you can view from a daughter of the parish, Laura Hauersperger Baxter. The photos are available at this LINK.
Generous and merciful Father,
we give You thanks for 175 years
of grace and blessings upon our local St. Joseph Catholic Church. Amen.
