History

St. Patrick Parish traces its roots to the earliest Masses celebrated with groups of Catholic settlers in the Bryan area in 1857.  The first church was erected in 1875 on North Garden Street.  In 1889 a larger church was built at Trevitt and Walnut Streets which served the parish until 1958.  in 1949 the present location was purchased, and the school and church were dedicated in 1958.  With the dedication of our new church in 2003 the former church space has been converted into the parish activity center, Davis Hall, for which it was originally intended.
