History: Saint Joseph the Worker Church, Reineh
Saint Joseph the Worker’s church in Reineh was built in 1964 under Father Joseph Nicolas. The Latin parish itself began in 1878 in Old Reineh. After the 1927 earthquake shifted settlement to New Reineh, the church and school eventually followed the community.
