St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church | Lancaster | NW England
Welcome to the online home of
St Joseph's RC Church in Lancaster
We are blessed with the most beautiful church in Lancaster, built in 1900 by the famous Pugin family architects, where we can pray, worship and celebrate our One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Faith.
In these our times, the Lord once again seeks to be amongst us, and through our prayer and worship, the celebration of the sacraments, our community life and our service to others we seek to make flesh once again this reality in our lives.
