St. Joachim Roman Catholic Church was the first Roman Catholic church founded in Northeast Philadelphia.
Established in 1845 in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia, the parish was closed on July 1, 2013, part of a wide-ranging re-organization of Catholic parishes in the Philadelphia Archdiocese; it became part of Holy Innocents Parish along with two other, nearby closed parishes, Mater Dolorosa and St. Joan of Arc.[1]
Education
St. Joachim had a parish school,[2] and later Holy Innocents Area Catholic School was its designated Catholic school.[3]
Graveyard
The St. Joachim's Church graveyard is maintained by Holy Innocents.[4]
