St. Patrick Catholic Church

About this church

St. Patrick Catholic Church in Whitewater celebrates weekend Mass Saturday at 5 p.m., Sunday at 9 a.m. in English, and Sunday at 11:30 a.m. in Spanish. A Sunday 5 p.m. Mass is offered when University of Wisconsin–Whitewater classes are in session. Weekday liturgies include Tuesday at 6 p.m.; Wednesday at 8 a.m. in English and 6 p.m. in Spanish; and Thursday and Friday at 8 a.m. Confession is available Tuesday and Wednesday at 5 p.m. or by appointment. The newcomer guide says comfortable, respectful clothing is welcome and encourages guests to speak with an usher.

Whitewater-area Catholics were first served by missionaries in 1836, and Mass has been celebrated in the current church since 1958. Today the parish connects worship and sacramental preparation with family formation, public witness, and social justice. Teenagers finishing eighth grade through graduating seniors may join an annual weeklong summer mission trip involving work such as home repair, meals, children's programs, gardening, and visits with older adults. Parish fellowship includes name-tag weekends, volunteer recognition, bilingual Christmas books, and a summer gathering with outdoor Mass and a picnic. Because the evening Sunday Mass follows the university calendar, visitors should verify that seasonal service before attending.
