Rev. Seamus Laverty, Pastor

The first St. Patrick's was built in the spring of 1892 as a modest 30' x 40' frame church on the corner of Tacoma and Starr Avenues. Shortly thereafter, Dominican Sisters arrived in Tacoma to establish the first free parochial school west of the Mississippi River.

On August 15, 1905 the original wooden church building was destroyed by fire. The current church building at North 12th and "J" was dedicated by Bishop O'Dea on June 30, 1907.

We are a Catholic faith community rooted in the traditions and people of "Old Tacoma," called together and empowered by Christ to nurture the spiritual and liturgical needs of our community through lifelong Christian education, celebration of the sacraments, prayer, and service to others.
