St. Joseph's Church, Roman Catholic Church in the city center of Southampton, United Kingdom
The Gothic Revival church stands on Bugle Street, featuring a chancel crafted by Augustus Pugin with later additions by architects J. G. Poole and Leonard Stokes.
The church opened its doors in 1845 and temporarily served as the pro-cathedral of Portsmouth Diocese while the Cathedral of St John the Evangelist was under construction.
The parish merged with St Edmund's in 2006, forming a combined religious community that offers services in both English and Polish to accommodate different congregations.
The Grade II listed building conducts two Sunday Masses weekly, complementing the schedule of nearby St Edmund's Church to serve the needs of local worshippers.
Construction of the church proceeded in phases due to financial limitations, with different architects contributing to its development over multiple decades.
