St Joseph's Church, is a Roman Catholic church in Cardiff, Wales. It is administered by the Rosminians. It serves the areas of Gabalfa, Cathays, and Maindy. [1]
The Rosminians arrived in Cardiff in 1854. [2] [3] [4] They first established St Peter's Church, Roath, [2] and St Alban's Church, Splott. [2] The first church building of St Joseph's used parts from an iron church at St Alban's parish, which received a new building in 1911. [2] [5] This opened on shrubland in Gabalfa on 1 June 1913, served by priests from St Peter's parish. [2] [3] [4] In 1921, it became an independent parish, serving around 1,000 Catholics. [2] The presbytery building was completed later, in 1927. [5]
The current church building received funding in 1934 from an £11,000 donation from Thomas Callaghan after the death of his wife Edith. [2] [5] It was designed by the architect F. R. Bates, with rounded arches and red-brown brick construction. [6] This opened on 28 October 1936. [2] It has a baptistery, bell tower, choir loft, and aisled nave. [5]
The interior of St Joseph's Church was changed significantly after the Second Vatican Council. [2] The church hall was added in the late 2000s.[ citation needed ]
The organ at St Joseph's was built in 1947 by Conacher and Co, with six ranks of pipes. [7] This organ remained in the church until 2008, when water damage meant that the organ was scrapped. It was replaced with an electric organ in 2008.
