St. Patrick’s is the oldest Catholic church in greater Portland. The cornerstone was laid on St. Patrick’s Day in 1889, and the church was dedicated in 1891 — “to the glory of God in honor of Ireland’s Apostle, St. Patrick.”
From its place at the edge of the Pearl District, beneath the Fremont Bridge, St. Patrick’s has stood for well over a century as a home of Catholic faith and beauty in northwest Portland.
