St Joseph Society Hall
HistoryAt the time of the founding of St. Joseph's Church in 1868 then, and for many decades thereafter known as the German Parish, there was also organized a St. Joseph's Benevolent Society. After a few years, because of differences, a division occurred, and two distinct societies of men - one known as St. Joseph's Catholic Benevolent Society and the other as the Roman Catholic Benevolent Society, functioned independently of each other within the confines of the parish. Both groups, however, soon realized the ineffectiveness of dual societies organized for the same purposes, and therefore resolved to reunite. On Sunday afternoon, January 18, 1885, meeting in Meyer's Hall on Alamo Plaza, the two societies were merged into one single unit to be known as St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Benevolent Association (St. Joseph's Society) - the legal title of our Society. St. Joseph's Society raises funds for Catholic charities & provides scholarships to incoming freshmen at local Catholic High SchoolsSpecialtiesSt. Joseph's Society Hall is a reception hall seating 200 that is available for weddings, retirements, birthdays, anniversaries, and other events.
