St. Patrick Catholic Church

We had our wedding here in October 2020. The Church was very accommodating, considering all that was going with COVID. Overall I would recommend having a wedding here. The Church was very flexible with us having to change our date due to COVID-19. And the pre-marriage sessions with Deacon George were life-changing and allowed us to connect better with each other and God.

The one growth opportunity for the Church: I honestly felt a disconnect between the coordinator the night before and the coordinator the day of. The night before, the coordinator told us that the wedding party did not have masks while going up/down the aisle and while up at the alter. But once seated, they had to wear masks; I was like, "okay, I can live with that." But 3 minutes before I was walking down the aisle, The coordinator says that everyone (but the bride and groom) needs to be in masks, including my parents walking by my side. Overall this was a minor thing and the only thing that didn't go as planned. I would recommend that a little more planning/consistency would elevate this problem. Not having a global pandemic would nix this problem entirely.

This parish community is Catholic and Christ-centered to the core. The pastor and staff taught me how to pray and fall in love with the presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist at a young age, and to begin a lifelong relationship with God. The Masses are reverent and the community is very much my “second family.” I am so grateful for this church!

Been a member for over two years, and this is a solid parish. It is blue collar, non-pretentious, and the people live the Catholic faith in a beautiful, normal way. Fr. Eilen is not flashy, but he is a faithful leader. There are plenty of ways to get involved, but even if you don't, you will be fulfilled spiritually and make lots of friends.

Saint Patrick is a great community to be a part of. They are welcoming and family friendly. I grew up in the parish and when I moved back to the area, it was an obvious choice to me to bring my family there.
