June 5, 2011 St. Patrick’s parishioners and families celebrated 125 years as a Catholic Community. The Celbration Mass was made extra special as Bishop Vigneron officiated along with our very own Father Richard Treml.
One interesting detail is that the parish started before the church building was even there. In 1879 the pastor of Gagetown, Fr. Clement Krebs, began saying Mass inside family homes in Corrigan, Oberle, Shay, Sullivan, Haley, Michler, Kelly, Diegel, and Day to name a few.
The folks that formed St. Patrick's commnunity were dedicated parishioners then and still are today. Members began planning years in advance for this 125th celebration by installing new carpet, professionally cleaning and restoring the 1896 Stations of the Cross and pews back to their original beauty, along with a new kitchen built by the men’s club.
