About St. Patrick · Hollandale, Wisconsin
St. Patrick is a small, rural Catholic parish in the unincorporated community of Hollandale, in Green County, Wisconsin. It is one of seven worship sites that together form St. Francis of Assisi Parish in the Diocese of Madison (Diocesan Pastorate #15), serving the agricultural countryside alongside Immaculate Conception in Blanchardville and St. Michael in Yellowstone, with the broader pastorate stretching to Mount Horeb, Perry, Ridgeway, and Barneveld. The parish gathers for one Sunday Mass (10:30 AM) and three weekday Masses each week, and is supported by a Catholic-school style cluster of ministries serving farm families of the Hollandale area. Like its neighbors, it operates under shared pastoral care rather than as a stand-alone parish staffed by a resident priest.

Why belong here
St. Patrick offers the warmth of a small, rural Catholic community rooted in the farming heritage of Green County, where parishioners genuinely know one another. Sunday Mass at 10:30 AM and weekday Masses on Thursday, Friday, and First Saturday morning make regular devotion easy to fit into an agricultural schedule. As part of the larger St. Francis of Assisi Pastorate, the parish also benefits from shared clergy, faith-formation resources, online homilies on YouTube, and Flocknote communications — giving a small community the reach and resources of a much larger one.
