HistoryEarlier churchesIn 1838 a temporary chapel had been erected in Cameron Street for the local Catholic community, which up to that moment had no fixed place of worship in the city.[1] In the same year[2] the government granted the Catholics a site in Margaret Street, "at the foot of the Cataract Hill", for the construction of a permanent building, a chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph.[2] The foundation stone for the St Joseph's church was laid on 19 March 1839 by Rev. Gentleman,[3] and the church was inaugurated in October 1842.[4] Two decades later,[2] St. Joseph's Church began to show signs of decay, and it was decided to replace it with a larger church.[2] Church of the ApostlesThe plans for the new church were drawn by the Tasmanian architect Henry Hunter, and the foundation stone was laid on 15 September 1864 by Bishop Willson.[5] By October 1866 the nave and two aisles had already been built, and on the 7th November the church was solemnly opened for religious purposes by Rev. Murphy, Bishop of Hobart.[6] The church was dedicated to Mary, Queen of the Apostles.[7] Construction of the North section, encompassing the transept, sanctuary and sacristies, began several years later. Bishop Murphy laid the foundation stone on 17 June 1888.[5] By then, Hunter was living in Brisbane and the task was entrusted to architect Alexander North. A foundation stone for the tower was laid in May 1889,[5] but it wasn't finished until a century later. Designed by Melbourne architect Peter Staunton, the bell tower and spire were installed in 1989.[7] The church conserves its original stone high altar.[5] The pulpit, made from blackwood and huon pine, was the work of Timothy Earley. The church's pipe organ, in two flanking columns, was dedicated in 1933.[7] GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite web|title=St Joseph's Catholic Church, Launceston|date=26 June 2015|url=http://monissa.com/ccphotos/st-josephs-catholic-church-launceston/}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|title=CATHOLIC CHURCH - Centenary Tomorrow Of First Building In Launceston|newspaper=The Mercury|date=18 March 1939|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/25597236}} 3. ^{{Cite news|title=On Tuesday morning the Rev.
