OUR HISTORY

The Church of St. Joseph was founded in 1942 when "Sloppy Joe's" tavern was remodeled and expanded to become the first St. Joseph's church.  Eventually, the remodeled church became part of the school.

A new church and bell tower were dedicated on October 9, 1988.  The worship space, adoration chapel and parish library are adorned by unique stained glass windows designed by artist Deiterich Spahn of Wayzata, Minnesota.

St. Joseph's School was dedicated on June 19, 1949.

The tabernacle was moved to the main church
and the altar was dedicated in October 2002.

Monsignour Foran Great Room, conference room,
kitchen and classrooms were added in 2010

The new sanctuary, made possible by private donations,
was manufactured and installed in November 2013.
