Parish Profile
St Joseph’s is a large suburban parish covering the districts of Wealdstone and Harrow Weald in the Archdiocese of Westminster and is located in the London Borough of Harrow.
It was founded by the Salvatorians in 1901 as their first house in the UK and grew very rapidly in the 1920′s and 1930′s when a large number of houses were built in the area. The fine Church is Grade II listed and was built from 1929-31 to designs by Adrian Gilbert Scott in a broadly Arts & Crafts style although with Gothic revival influences.
The Salvatorians established the Salvatorian College in 1926 and this is now a flourishing Academy for boys from 11-16 years. Other schools in the parish are St Joseph’s Primary School, St Teresa’s Primary School and Sacred Heart Language College for girls.
We also enjoy a close relationship with the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, who have their Provincialate and other communities within our parish. They have been a visible and valued presence in our parish for many years, most especially in and through their connections with the Sacred Heart Language College.
