dc.descriptionSt. Joseph's Roman Catholic Parish was first organized in 1856 to serve the Irish immigrant workers who were laboring on the Erie Railroad tunnel under Bergen Hill. St. Joseph's Church today stands on the southeast corner of Pavonia and Baldwin Avenues and was officially dedicated on Sunday, September 14, 1873. Parish lore relates that the stones used in its construction were quarried locally out of the Palisades rock formation, possibly from the Erie Railroad tunnel debris. Over the years, St. Joseph's Church has occasionally drawn public attention due to the phenomenon of the unexplained lights which are said to shine from the church's bell tower.
