The St. Joseph's Catholic Church is a chapel and former parish in the "Old Town" of Pocatello, Idaho. Built in 1897, it is Pocatello's oldest surviving church and was deemed significant "a rare nineteenth century example" of an Idaho church built of stone. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. [1]

An apostolic vicariate based in Boise was established in the 1860s. The first church of St. Joseph was built at the 100 block of South Garfield in 1889 but swiftly outgrown; the current campus of the church and convent were purchased in 1891, with the original church used for the parochial school. [2]

The parish was merged with the parish of St. Paul in Chubbuck and St. Anthony of Padua in Pocatello to form the Holy Spirit Catholic Community.

The Trinity Episcopal Church, also in Pocatello and NRHP-listed, is another historic stone Idaho church, built later. Its stone came from the stone quarry at Fort Hall, nearby. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church (Stone City, Iowa)</span> United States historic place

St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church is a former parish church of the Archdiocese of Dubuque located in Stone City, Iowa, United States. Catholics in Stone City were initially served by priests from Cedar Rapids and Anamosa. Mass was celebrated in parishioner's homes until 1881 when permission was granted to use a large hall in Stone City. The parish was established in 1901 and the cornerstone for the church building was laid in 1913. It was completed later the same year. The church was designed by Dubuque, Iowa architect Guido Beck. The stained glass windows of the church were imported from Germany. The limestone used for the building was donated by city quarries. Otto Braun served as the contractor, and the labor to construct the church was also donated by local quarry businesses. The lower level of the building houses the parish hall. The rear of the church can be seen anchoring the left side of Grant Wood's painting Stone City (1930). The parish started to lose parishioners in the 1920s when the stone quarries started to decline. Its size increased again in the 1950s before economic factors once again caused it to decline. The archdiocese closed the parish in 1992, and church building became an oratory.
