About Us:

Founded in 1906, Saint Joseph Church is the mother parish of the Catholic community of Shelton and a part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport. Our beautiful church, whose cornerstone was laid in 1907, is the home for our diverse parish comprised of 2300 registered families. Our excellent Catholic school, whose doors opened in 1927, has been graduating young people imbued with superior learning, Christian faith and moral values since 1932.

We pride ourselves at Saint Joseph Church on being a Family of Faith that is friendly and welcoming to all ages, classes and ethnic groups; a community that sponsors numerous dynamic ministries and evangelizing outreach; and a parish that is faithfully and unmistakably Catholic.
