St. Joseph Church, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas

About

St. Joseph Church is a Catholic church in the town of Edinburgh of the Seven Seas on the island of Tristan da Cunha. It is the most isolated Roman Catholic Parish in the world.

Originally the site of chapel, it was replaced by the church in the 1990s. The church has an elongated nave, a red roof, and a stained glass depiction of Our Lady, Star of the Sea. The church is part of the Mission sui iuris of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha and is vested by the Apostolic Prefecture of the Falkland Islands.

The church itself has no resident priests and relies on three lay ministers to hold services in the church. They use communion bread consecrated during Ecclesiastical Superiors' visits on the island while the Superior is not present.
