St. Patrick's Catholic Church

About this church

St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Lincoln, Kansas, is a parish of the Catholic Diocese of Salina. Sunday Mass is held at 11:00 a.m., and the parish lists confession beginning ten minutes before Mass. The congregation worships at 206 N 5th St. in a stone church dedicated in 1907. The church has a bell tower, and its bell, a 300-pound gift from the Santa Fe Railroad taken from a decommissioned locomotive, was returned to the tower in 1986. A 2010 addition gave the building a new entry, a gathering space, and restrooms.

The parish traces its history to 1878, when local Catholics built their first church on ground donated by the city, following the first recorded Mass in Lincoln County celebrated by French Jesuit missionaries. St. Patrick is grouped with two mission parishes, St. Mary in Glasco and Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Minneapolis. A parish hall, built in 1960, hosts gatherings such as a turkey supper listed on the diocesan parish page. Visitors with questions can call the parish at 785-524-4823 or use the contact details on the diocese's parish listing. Mass and confession times can change, so confirm them with the parish before visiting.
