History:  By 1887 the Roman Catholic Parish had outgrown their church on Dublin Line, and in co-operation with the Jesuit Fathers managed to purchase a church in Acton that the Congregationalists had built around 1877 and, due to financial difficulties, had sold to the Salvation Army around 1880.  They remodelled it and paid off the debt in a comparatively short time.  When they were settled in this church which was renamed to St. Joseph's, the Dublin building was sold to Mr. Kirkpatrick who tore it down and rebuilt it as a private home elsewhere.

The first resident Parish Priest in Acton was Father Haley in 1893.  He lived on Church Street about three blocks from the church.  The present Rectory on John Street was purchased during Father Feeny's pastorate.
