St. Patrick Church: Celebrating 150 Years!
On November 15, 1874, the first Mass was celebrated at St. Patrick Church in Groveland. This weekend, we kick off a series of celebratory events marking the 150th anniversary! The 150th anniversary is the “sesquicentennial” anniversary. As a parish, let us honor St. Patrick’s sesquicentennial by giving thanks to God for the gift of our Catholic faith in our Bradford/Groveland community. The Sesquicentennial Committee has planned several events to honor this anniversary year:
Sunday morning, November 17, 2024
Kickoff Brunch following the 10:15 Mass

Holy Hour after Mass led by Deacon Gil Sullivan
