The Co-cathedral of St. Joseph of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, located at 856 Pacific Street between Vanderbilt and Underhill Avenues in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, was built in 1912 in the Spanish Colonial style, replacing a previous church built in 1861.[1] The parish was founded in 1850 to serve the large immigrant population that was moving into the city of Brooklyn at the time.[3][4]

On February 14, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI approved the petition of Bishop Nicholas Anthony DiMarzio to have the church designated as the diocesan co-cathedral, as the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, is too small to hold diocesan liturgies.[4]

The church's campus also includes a Gothic revival rectory next door at 834 Pacific Street, built c.1860, and a school at 683 Dean Street, built c.1920, which is now used as a senior center.[1]
