St. Patrick Catholic Church

About this church

St. Patrick Catholic Church begins the weekend with a 5:30 p.m. Saturday Vigil, then celebrates Sunday Mass at 8 and 10 a.m. at 134 St. Philip Street in Charleston. Weekday Mass is offered at 9 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. Reconciliation begins Saturday at 4:30 p.m., and the parish publishes a 6 p.m. Mass for holy days. The current homepage repeats these times in its calendar, allowing visitors to check whether a funeral, feast, or special celebration affects an ordinary week.

St. Patrick's history reaches into Charleston's nineteenth-century Catholic life and is especially connected with the city's Black Catholic community. Parish ministries include liturgical service, music, religious education, charitable work, fellowship, health support, and organizations that sustain both worship and community life. The music ministry rehearses during the week and supports the parish's Sunday liturgies, while health ministry connects spiritual care with practical attention to well-being. Newcomers can learn about registration, returning to Catholic practice, or becoming Catholic through the parish's dedicated pages. A first-time visitor has two Sunday morning choices, and the Saturday Vigil can work well for a weekend evening. Anyone seeking Reconciliation should arrive before 4:30 rather than just before Mass. Families arranging sacraments or faith formation should contact the parish, since those processes follow calendars and preparation requirements beyond weekly worship.
