Before that time, visiting priests celebrated Mass in various homes for the Irish settlers, who came into the area as early as the 1840s, and that explains the choice of Saint Patrick for their patron. They built their first church about 1862 under Father Michael Lynch’s direction and it served until a replacement was built in 1877. Land for the cemetery was donated by John McMahon, probably in 1857 as the oldest tombstone bears that date.”

He was soon followed by Father Patrick McCabe as the first permanent pastor. In 1870 Father Roger Ryan began a forty-two year pastorate during which the parish grew in numbers and spirit. In 1876 preparations were made for a new church, with the cornerstone laid in 1877 and the building dedicated August 15, 1878. During part of his pastorate Father Ryan served as vicar general of the diocese and present of Saint Joseph College (later renamed Loras College).”
