About Us

For over 100 years, St. Joseph Parish has been an integral part of Needham, the Archdioceses of Boston and beyond. Our clergy and parishioners, inspired by faith and love for God, are responsible for many decades of good works—from educating children and comforting the elderly to feeding the hungry and supporting the poor. Our Centennial is a milestone in our parish to acknowledge our rich history and to build an even brighter future. 

Since its founding in 1917, St. Joseph Parish in Needham has warmly welcomed all into its vibrant and growing community. Today, the parish is the spiritual home to 8,500 registered parishioners from more than 2,000 families. The campus hums with activity from an elementary school, a middle school, and a number of religious, community and service organizations.
