New cross blessed at anniversary Mass

Parishioners hold hands during the "Our Father." The origins of St. Joseph Church date back to early January 1912. At that time, Father Armand C. Martin, an associate at St. Louis of France Church on 117th Street in Chicago, approached the Homewood Village Board and requested the use of the village hall meeting room on Sunday mornings so he could say Mass for Homewood's Catholics. The village granted this request, and Father Martin began saying Mass in the village hall on Jan. 14, 1912. (Karen Callaway / Catholic New World)
