The Mission of the Church of St. Patrick, rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, is to make God's love visible in our daily lives.

The first Mass was celebrated in St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church on Christmas morning in 1856. More than 150 years have come and gone since that first Christmas morning. Since that time, many have gathered together in this church to give praise to the Lord God and to receive His graces in the sacraments.

Our parish just concluded a grand year-long celebration of our Sesquicentennial Anniversary.
We remembered our heritage, celebrated today's parish faith community and developed programs and ministries to educate and lead generations of believers to follow. We even buried a time capsule to be opened in 2056.

We invite you to join us for our Eucharistic Celebration on Saturday evening, Sunday morning or at Noon each weekday (Monday to Friday). (See schedule)

St. Patrick's Parish is also happy to welcome the military and federal civilian families assigned to Fort Drum to our community. Many of our parishioners have developed and treasure some wonderful friendships with families who share their Catholic faith with us during their tour of duty in Drum Country. As a faith community we pray for the safety of those in harms way and pray that one day soon all will be returned safe and sound to their loved ones.

In Watertown, New York, in June of 1967, three Presbyterian ministers began forming a vision for an urban ministry here in the north country.

Colleagues from other churches urged them to make it an ecumenical venture with churches of many denominations working together to meet the needs of individuals and families not served by the government and social agencies, but in need of help. Further, they saw a need to enable these people to raise themselves from their hopeless positions and to be able to rejoin the mainstream.

Clergy and lay people from other churches joined the three and today there are many churches including St. Patrick's with a commitment to the Mission participating in this ecumenical social outreach. For further information http://www.geocities.com/watwnurbanmiss/
