welcome to the st. patrick parish website
Welcome to St. Patrick Parish website.
There is some construction going on with the site as can see some updates.
St. Patrick Parish is located in the heart of the grain belt - an area that helps feed the world and through our harvest it helps produce hundreds upon hundreds of products we use every day. We are a community of farmers, retirees, working people, simple folks and young families. We serve our city in many and varied ways extending help to the sick, shut-ins, the poor, the hungry and others. We take delight that God has enabled us to serve so many.
We are closely related to and embrace our neighboring parishes of St. Flannen, Harmon and St. Mary, Walton; as they do us. Among the tri-parishes the faith runs deep being built on the blood, sweat and tears of our faithful, founding ancestors.
You will find us to be warm and welcoming communities. If you are new to one of our parishes, welcome. Please say hello and register so we can proudly call you one of our own! -
