Saint Joseph Catholic Church, Catholic church building in Old Town Alexandria, US
Saint Joseph Catholic Church stands with its English Gothic architectural design at 711 North Columbus Street, featuring a round stained-glass window depicting crucifixion.
Founded in 1915 with support from Saint Katharine Drexel, the church was established to provide African-American parishioners of Saint Mary's Parish their own place of worship.
The church maintains its status as the only Black Catholic parish in the Diocese of Arlington, incorporating African American elements in celebrations and services.
The emergency assistance program at Saint Joseph Catholic Church distributes funds for food, rent, and utilities to community members experiencing financial hardship.
The outdoor shrine to Mary includes a walkway constructed with engraved bricks commemorating various life events of church members and visitors.
