Daprato Rigali was responsible for the extensive historic restoration and remodel of St, Joseph Church. Remodeling included: new layout, new color paint scheme, new marble, & wood work.

Ambry: Holy Oils

Holy Oils are kept in an ambry. St. Joseph's amby is located near the Baptismal font.

The Ambry at St. Joseph was constructed from parts of the original pulpit. The sections were not used when the pulpit was reconfigured.

Each vessel of oil in the ambry as an etched inscription indicating the contents: CHR (Chrism), CAT (Catechumens) or O.I. ("oleum infirmorum").

When you enter the church, you will find a holy water font attached to the wall at one or both sides of each door. The holy water fonts in St. Joseph Church are made of marble and are in the orginal place they were positioned when the church was built.

Upon entering and exiting the church, dip the tips of the fingers of your right hand into the holy water and make the sign of the cross, quietly saying, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
