Old St Joseph's Church

Founded in 1733, Old St. Joseph's Church was the first Roman Catholic church in Philadelphia. Its history spans the shift from an Anglo-American Catholic Church with a few thousand adherents in the 18th century to an populous immigrant church in the post-Civil War era. Despite rising anti-foreign and anti-Catholic forces in the 19th century, Old St. Joseph's successfully negotiated this shift because of its roots in Quaker tolerance, its hidden site, and the gifted leadership of its Jesuit pastors The . The current church building was dedicated in 1839.
