St. Joseph's Church in Galveston, Texas, is the oldest German Catholic church in the state and the oldest wooden church building in the city. Built in 1859-60 by German immigrants, the church is a simple wooden Gothic Revival structure dedicated to St. Joseph, the patron saint of laborers.
Despite being damaged in the 1900 Storm, St. Joseph's Church was repaired, enlarged, and redecorated while retaining its original architectural character. Managed by the Galveston Historical Foundation, the church is open for special occasions, group tours, and private functions, showcasing its historic significance and original furnishings.
