Brief description

"St Patrick’s was built to serve the Catholic community of north Stafford, many of whom were Irish. The Rev. James O’Hanlon initiated a mission from St Austin’s in the 1880s; from 1884, a Mass centre was established in St Patrick’s School. The new mission was founded in 1893, with Fr O’Hanlon the first priest; two cottages on St Patrick’s Street were adapted for a presbytery. In 1895, a prefabricated corrugated iron church was built next to the school on St Patrick’s Street, costing £550. In the interwar years, the Rev. Daniel Kelly led the acquisition of a large new site, buying a plot of land between Marston Road and Sandon Road in 1921, next to Sheridan Hall.  A presbytery was built in 1926 by the next priest, the Rev. Patrick McSwiney and a new primary school in 1930. The latter contained a hall fitted out for use as a temporary church, with fittings from the old church.

By 1950 over £10,000 had been raised towards a new church, for which the foundation stone was laid in 1951 by Archbishop Masterson. The new church was designed by E. Bower Norris of Sandy & Norris and the contractors were Sandy & Co.; the total cost was £3,200. It was formally opened on 11 June 1953 by Bishop Bright. The church was consecrated in 1966."
