A previous church on Park Street originally stood on the grounds of St. Macartan's Hall which stands adjacent to the site of the current church. The Cathedral's architect, William Hague, was chosen to design St. Joseph's Church and on Sunday 15th May 1898 the foundation stone of the new church was laid. The new church was named after St. Joseph at a dedication ceremony celebrated by Michael Cardinal Logue, Archbishop of Armagh (1840 - 1924) on Sunday 18th March 1900. The presbytery adjoining the church is of the same period.
