St. Joseph's Church is a historic church located at 1355 North Main Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was built in 1880 in the Gothic Revival style and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It was designed by notable church architect Patrick C. Keely.
The church's pipe organ was built in 1883 by W.K. Adams & Sons in Providence RI.[2] It is one of the largest built by them. It was once run by water and then by bellows.
The parish was founded in 1873 to accommodate the growing numbers of Catholics who had settled in the northern section of the city in the 1870s to work in the cotton mills, including the Border City, Narragansett, Mechanics, Sagamore Mills.[3] The current Pastor is Rev. John Raposo.[4]
