St. Joseph Parish, located in the Back of the Yards neighborhood in Chicago, has been serving the community since 1887. Originally established as one of the first Polish parishes in the area, St. Joseph has evolved over the years to become a trilingual community that celebrates its fusion of cultures, languages, and backgrounds. The church building, designed by Joseph Molitor and opened in 1914, has stood the test of time and continues to be a place of worship and celebration for parishioners.
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, St. Joseph Parish remains committed to connecting with its community through Facebook Live celebrations, masses, and prayers. The church also actively participates in the Renew My Church initiative, which aims to strengthen and revitalize Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Chicago. With its rich history and dedication to serving the Back of the Yards neighborhood, St. Joseph Parish looks forward to continuing its legacy for many more years to come.
