Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa

St. Joseph Catholic Church has the distinct honor of being the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. The focal point of the shrine is an authentic Icon of the Madonna, which was brought to our parish from Poland by members of the Polish community. The Icon was enshrined and consecrated by the Most Reverend F. Joseph Gossman, Bishop of Raleigh, on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, 1987. Three years later, on December 12, 1990, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the icon was blessed by our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II at the Vatican during a private audience.

The faithful gather from the Raleigh area as well as from parishes throughout the diocese to honor Our Blessed Lady and invoke her maternal protection at our weekly novena.

The devotions in honor of Our Lady of Czestochowa are held for all members of the faithful in English. Please join us in honoring the Mother of God and invoking her protection over your family. All are welcome.

St. Joseph Church is open everyday for your private devotions and visit to the Blessed Sacrament. Take Exit-15 off 440 Beltline and go west to 2813 Poole Road on the corner of Donald Ross Drive (formerly known as South Peartree Lane).
