St. Joseph's Catholic Church
St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Gothic Revival church in Pocatello, United States
St. Joseph's Catholic Church features stone walls made from sandstone quarried at the Fort Hall Indian Reservation and three bells named after apostles Peter, James, and John.
Constructed between 1896 and 1897 under the supervision of Belgian-born priest Cyril Van der Donckt, this church became the first Catholic place of worship in Pocatello.
The church maintains its position as a religious center within the Holy Spirit Catholic Community, formed through the merger with St. Paul in Chubbuck and St. Anthony of Padua.
Located at 455 N Hayes Avenue in Pocatello, the church building received extensive renovations in 2007, including structural reinforcement, new bathrooms, and safety system installations.
The Department of the Interior, with consent from the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, donated the sandstone used for constructing the exterior walls of the church.
