Biographical / Historical

St. Joseph Catholic Church in Maumee, Ohio began in 1831 as a Station of St. Mary Catholic Church in Tiffin. In 1841, St. Joseph Catholic Church became a Mission of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Toledo. St. Joseph parish received their first resident pastor, Reverend Sebastian Sanner, in 1850.

Until 1892, mass was held in a meeting house purchased in 1841 from the Episcopalians of Maumee. In 1888, work began on their second church. It was dedicated in 1892 by Monsignor F.M. Boff, V.G. In 1933, a fire destroyed the church steeple and it was not rebuilt.

The growth of St. Joseph Catholic Church over the past 160 years has been steady.
