St Patrick Church
St Patrick Church
The picture shows St Patrick Church, the Cathedral for the Diocese of El Paso and the mother church for 686,000 Catholics. Plans to build the church of St. Patrick originated with the Irish Catholic community in El Paso in 1908 when parishioners at Holy Family Church (formerly St. Mary Chapel) began to fundraise for a larger church. In 1916 the plans were finally realized. The interior and exterior of the church were designed in the Byzantine style of architecture and constructed from brick and carrara marble. On Thanksgiving Day 1917, the official dedication ceremony was hold by Bishop Schuler.
