St. Joseph Cathedral is a predominantly Iraqi-American Syriac Catholic cathedral located in Bayonne, New Jersey, United States. It is the seat of the Eparchy of Our Lady of Deliverance of Newark.^[1] In 2011, the cathedral was established in the former St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church on Avenue E, a former parish of the Archdiocese of Newark.^[2] St. Joseph Parish was founded as a Slovak parish in 1888, and the church building was completed in 1909.^[3]^[4] As of 2018, that church building was desacralized, and the property became part of a planned redevelopment project.^[5] St. Joseph Cathedral moved to the former St. Michael’s parish property on East 23rd Street.^[3]^[6] The old St. Joseph church building was demolished in 2020 and will be replaced with a residential building. However the tower bells and St Joseph statue were preserved.^[7]
