About St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Hubballi
Established in 1890, St. Joseph’s Church is one of Hubli’s oldest and most beloved Catholic parishes. For more than a century, this sacred place has stood as a spiritual landmark in Keshwapur, guiding thousands of faithful through prayer, service, and fellowship.
The parish is dedicated to St. Joseph, the Foster Father of Jesus, whose life of humility, obedience, and quiet strength continues to inspire our faith journey. Over the years, the parish has grown from a humble chapel into a vibrant community of believers serving in multiple languages and ministries, welcoming everyone who seeks peace in the presence of God.
From the early days of simple wooden pews and candle-lit gatherings to today’s bustling parish filled with families, students, and elders, St. Joseph’s has remained a symbol of hope and togetherness. Generations of parishioners have shared in its story — baptisms, weddings, feast days, and countless Sunday mornings spent in prayer. The church has not only been a place of worship but also a center of compassion, helping those in need, guiding the youth, and uniting people from every background in faith and friendship.
