Note: A box and folder list is available in the repository.

Saint Joseph’s Parish was established in 1925 at 53-57 Catherine Street in New York City, led by Pastor Vincent M. Jannuzzi. The records of the church consist of materials documenting parish life from 1908-1979, with the bulk dating from the 1920s-1930s. The records shed light on the beginning of the parish, as well as earlier activities which lead to the opening of the church. The material also reflects the activities of the parochial school. Many of the records consist of general correspondence and bills, as well as photographs from the dedication of the convent in 1958. The collection also contains weekly bulletins issued to parishioners attending Sunday Mass, small booklets, sermon and play manuscripts, newspaper clippings, and prayer cards.
