St. Joseph Church History

Meriden Catholics, mostly Irish and living west of the railroad tracks, were first served by St. Rose pastors. In 1895, Father Paul McAlenney purchased a former Methodist church on West Main Street for use as a chapel of ease. The ivy covered brick edifice was initially dedicated to the Sacred Heart. On September 23, 1900, however, Bishop Michael A. Tierney created a new parish west of the tracks, under the patronage of St. Joseph. Founding pastor Father John T. Lynch purchased Goodwill Avenue property in September 1901 as a future church site. In 1903, when a basement chapel opened, the old chapel of ease was converted to a school staffed by the Sisters of Mercy. The solemn dedication occurred in early 1908. A new school on the West Main Street Mather property soon enhanced the parish. The institution was dedicated on September 5, 1915, by Bishop John J. Nilan.
