St. Joseph’s Church was opened and dedicated in September 1966. It replaced an old church erected in 1834. It seats 750 people. It is a rectangular church and the sanctuary is not divided from the nave.

A feature of the church is the arrangement of natural light. Four great sources of light are arranged, one on the front gable, one on the back gable behind the high altar and one on each side of the nave.

The Second Vatican Council was in progress during the building of the church and so the architect was caught between two traditions. He solved his dilemma by designing an altar so the Mass could be said facing the people or in the old traditional way. The bell-tower is free standing but linked to the church by a concrete canopy. The architect was Philip Cullivan and the builder Patrick Doherty.
