St. Joseph's Church is a Catholic church situated in the East Wall area of Dublin in Ireland. The Foundation Stone was blessed on 8 November 1954, and on the 29 July 1956 the then Archbishop John Charles McQuaid blessed and officially opened the new Church of St Joseph in East Wall.
Changes and development
St Joseph's church has seen significant changes since it was built. Many of these changes are reflected in work that has been carried out on the church building over the years. The Sanctuary was reordered. This enables the priest to celebrate Mass facing the people. The reordered Sanctuary is a much bigger space and facilitates the active involvement of lay people.
