About St. Joseph's Catholic Church
St. Joseph's Catholic Church traces its congregation to 1872, when Father Claude Jaillet and Adolfo Guichon held Fort Stockton's first Catholic services after federal troops reoccupied the post. Construction of the adobe church began around 1875 on land donated by Peter Gallagher. The church served the town's Catholic community as Fort Stockton grew as a frontier post in West Texas.
