Parish history

The Italian name of St. Joseph, "San Giuseppe" is inscribed on the masonry and is used to distinguish this church from its more famous Manhattan neighbor, St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village. "Visible over the tenement scape of the Lower East Side are the twin domed towers of this Roman Catholic Sanctuary--San Giuseppe--at 5 Monroe Street, designed by Matthew W. Del Guadio. Built in 1924 to serve an Italian population, St. Joseph is now designated an Italian and Chinese parish." Although there are a number of parishes in Manhattan dedicated to St. Joseph, a nearby parish of the same name was listed in 1892 at 1850 Washington Avenue.
