The story of our parish begins a long time ago, there were monks from the Priory of Rochester here in the middle ages.
In 1886 Monsignor Goddard established a mission at Willowbank, the Church there was called All Saints.  In 1892 there was a tin Church erected and dedicated to St. Joseph.  The opening Mass of the Parish was at 8am on the 13th March 1892. The present Church was opened by Bishop Amigo on the 13th December 1912 .  It was consecrated when the debt was cleared on the 28th April 1914.
