History
[edit]A St. Joseph Mission Church has existed in Brookfield since the mid-1880s but the present parish was founded in 1941. The present St. Joseph Church was designed in the late 1980s by Antinozzi Associates now of Bridgeport, CT.[1] The present church was dedicated in 1992.
Peragallo Pipe Organ
[edit]The organ was designed by the Peragallo Pipe Organ Company of Paterson, New Jersey. It is a pipe/digital 3 manual instrument and was originally installed in 2002. In August 2010 the Parish announced plans to bring Peragallo back to modify the instrument.
School
[edit]An elementary school located on the church property, originally Saint Joseph School, it was renamed Saint Joseph Catholic Academy in 2018 as it experimented with a new classroom model. Opening in 1958, it closed its doors in June, 2020.
