St. Joseph Hall - pre-candidate house

St. Joseph Hall is part dormitory and part staff residence; it is for students studying at St. John’s School (a secondary institution) located in Secondi, Ghana, West Africa. Be sure to move the mouse over the pictures so that you can identify them. This hall is one of the founding buildings built by Holy Cross by the Midwest Province on coming to Ghana.
