St. Joseph's Church[1] (Russian: Церковь Святого Иосифа Обручника) is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church in the city of Tyumen, Russia,[2][3] in the Diocese of Transfiguration at Novosibirsk. The parish church is located at 7 Lenin Street.

History

[edit]

The church was built between 1903 and 1906 by parishioners from Poland, thanks in part to the financial means of the family of Polish mines magnate Alfons Koziell-Poklewski (1809-1890). The first Masses were held in 1904.

It was closed during the Soviet era and was used as a warehouse, student club, and gym. It returned to the parish community in the early 1990s and religious ceremonies resumed starting in 1993. The church celebrated its centenary in 2004.
