The St. Joseph's Cathedral[1] (Portuguese: Catedral São José)[2] Also Criciúma Cathedral Is a Catholic temple located in the center of the municipality and locality of Criciúma, in front of the Nereu Ramos Square in the state of Santa Catarina in the southern part of the South American country of Brazil. In 2012, the church reopened due to five years of work, and St. Joseph's Cathedral offers a new look.[3]
Its construction began in 1907 under the direction of Father John Canonicus. The premiere of the space took place in 1917, at the time when Father Francisco Bertero was the official pastor. In 1946, for the Eucharistic Congress, there were changes in the façade, two side chapels and the images of the saints, created by Natalicio Marques. In 1976 it was covered by tiles and thirty years later it was enlarged in 2006. Its construction was done in a Romanesque style mixed with Gothic, with naves divided into two rows of columns.
