Facts and practical information

St. Joseph Cathedral was a predominantly Iraqi-American Syriac Catholic cathedral located in Bayonne, New Jersey, United States. It is the seat of the Eparchy of Our Lady of Deliverance of Newark. In 2011, the cathedral was established in the former St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church on Avenue E, a former parish of the Archdiocese of Newark. St. Joseph Parish was founded as a Slovak parish in 1888, and the church building was completed in 1909. As of 2018, that church building was desacralized, and the property became part of a planned redevelopment project. St. Joseph Cathedral moved to the former St. Michael's parish property on East 23rd Street. The old St. Joseph church building was demolished in 2020 and will be replaced with a residential building. However the tower bells and St Joseph statue were preserved. The bells are set to be placed on the top of a planned bell tower across the street from City Hall. ()
