- General Info
- he Church of St. Joseph was organized in 1879 with 75 families, making our parish the first Catholic church in Mandan. The first Mass was celebrated in the Linnehan's house in 1879 and the first resident priest, Fr. Cassidy, arrived in late 1880, offering his first Mass on November 1, 1880. At that time the parish had no boundaries and the priest took care of the faithful for miles around, to parishes as far as Glendive, MT. The first church structure, a small wood frame church of 70' x 80', was completed at a cost of $5,000 in September, 1881 and served the parish until the arrival of Fr. Daniel Collins in July 1894. After his arrival, Fr. Collins moved the old wood frame church across the street and built a new brick structure in 1904; the church we still use and cherish today. The church was build at a cost of $40,000, of which, Fr. Collins paid $13,500 personally. On July 3, 1904, the cornerstone was laid; a tin box beneath the cornerstone contains relics from Lourdes in France, Rome, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Mount of Olives, and The River Jordan. This church was dedicated on November 30, 1904. Father Collins was buried in the basement of the church he loved and built.
