St. Joseph's
Church History
Welcome to St. Joseph's Catholic Church! Established in the late 1800s in Tontitown, Arkansas, we are a close-knit parish community with a rich history.
Keeping
the Faith
Our church was founded by devoted Catholic families seeking a spiritual home, and over the years, we have grown together, embracing change while staying true to our traditions.
Spiritual
Community
Today, we continue to be a beacon of light, spreading love, unity, and service to the community. Join us as we honor our past, celebrate our present, and build a bright future together at St. Joseph's Catholic Church.
