Erik Nordberg, MTU Archivist12/14/2005 7:04:37 PMSt. Joseph’s was built in 1871 and dedicated to St. Joseph de Calasant. By 1883 the congregation numbered 1,800 and was overwhelmingly French Canadian. A larger church to accommodate the faithful was completed in 1912, still stands on Calumet Street, and hosts an active multi-ethnic congregation. Learn more about the French Canadians by visiting the Interior Ellis Island web site.
Anonymous7/20/2007 10:56:06 AMThis church was built in 1882 and was replaced by the church in current use in 1912, so the photograph can be dated as sometime in the thirty years between 1882 and 1912.
