| Description |
The church has being serving the Capitol Hill since 1868. Per the church's website: "For more than 140 years, St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church has stood in the shadow of the Capitol Dome, at 313 Second Street, NE. Before there were buildings to house the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress or even offices for America's elected representatives, there were two institutions that stood side by side on Capitol Hill - the United States Capitol and St. Joseph's Church. Shortly after the Civil War, the growing number of German immigrants in our nation's capitol found cause to create a parish of their own. On October 25, 1868, a jubilant crowd of 20,000 people, including the President of the United States, paraded past the Capitol and turned out to lay the cornerstone of St. Joseph's. In his blessing, Bishop (the future Cardinal) James Gibbons of Baltimore, prayed that our one nation under God would be made stronger by the presence of this House of God. Dedicated in January 1891 by James Cardinal Gibbons, the present church is built of brown stone from Hershey (PA)." DSC_0003 |
