Founded in 1911 as a Slovakian parish, Saint Joseph is a historical Catholic church in Tacoma, WA, served by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP). The FSSP is a society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right instituted by Pope St. John Paul II in 1988. All Masses and Sacraments are performed in the Latin Usus Antiquior of the Roman Rite, in accordance with the liturgical books of 1962, as expressed in the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. We are thankful to the long-time parishioners of Saint Joseph for graciously opening their doors to the South Sound Latin Mass community, to Archbishop Sartain for making it possible, and to Archbishop Etienne for his continued support. May we all grow in faith and charity, bringing greater glory to God.
