Our Mission
We, St. Patrick Catholic Parish, represent Christ to the World. We support one another. We invite everyone to pray, to proclaim the Word, to celebrate the sacraments, and to live for others as Christ lived for us.
A Brief History
Mass has been celebrated at our current church since 1958. The Catholic community in and around Whitewater was initially served by missionaries since 1836. A permanent church building was established in 1853, and a new, larger church was completed in 1867 to accommodate the growing Catholic community. In the spring of 1957, ground was broken for our current church, hall, and rectory. Our parish has been continually maintaining and updating the buildings on our campus.
