St. Joseph's Catholic Church

St. Joseph's Catholic Church is located in Macon, Georgia and offers Catholic masses, education, fellowship and stewardship to the Macon community. The twin cross-topped spires rise 200 feet in the air and are a vital part of the downtown Macon skyline. The church is Romanesque and neo-Gothic in style. The church was a project of 50 area parishioners and St. Joseph's first priest, Father James Graham. In 1841, they decided to build the first Catholic Church in the area and within 17 years, their dream had come true. The church features more than 60 stained glass windows that depict scenes of angels, saints, Bible scenes and a variety of religious symbols. Most of these windows were crafted in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The church also features statues, marble carvings and altars from Italian quarries and columns from quarries in Georgia. Over the years, the church has undergone renovation and restoration, but remains true to its original style. Catholics and those wishing to pursue the Catholic faith are welcome to attend church at St. Joseph's. The church offers an extensive religious education program that helps build an understanding of the Catholic faith. Programs are available for all age groups including children, teens, college-aged young adults and adults. Sacrament classes are also available.
