St. Patrick's Church
St. Patrick's Church, Catholic church in Perry, Iowa, United States
St. Patrick's Church features a frame structure measuring 66 by 34 feet with round-arch stained glass windows and a low-pitched gable roof.
The church was established in 1868 as a replacement for an original log structure, serving Irish immigrant families who settled in the area during the 1850s.
The parish maintains traditional Catholic services while functioning as a central gathering point for religious ceremonies and community events in Madison County.
The church building, registered as a National Historic Place since 1978, remains open for regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the week.
The church structure includes a distinct tapered bell tower and a separate sacristy measuring 24 by 12 feet attached to the main building.
