History

The first parish of Msida was built in 1867 whilst under the religious guidance of Archbishop Gaetano Pace Forno. The chosen patron was the Immaculate Conception. A larger church dedicated to St Joseph was built later on. Works on this new building were finished by 1889. The church was consecrated on April 22, 1894.
