St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, Gothic Catholic church in Lagro, Indiana

St. Patrick's is a rectangular Victorian Gothic brick church built between 1870 and 1873, with a gable roof, a square bell tower, five tall pointed-arch windows, and a half-octagonal apse flanked by lower, half-hipped sacristies. Its brick was brought by canal boat from Huntington.

Irish immigrants established the parish in 1836 when Thomas Fitzgibbon donated two lots for the original wooden church structure. The building was later reconstructed in brick and remained an important anchor for the growing Irish community.

The congregation grew from Irish canal workers who settled in the area between 1834 and 1837 during construction of the Wabash and Erie Canal. Their descendants continue to shape the religious life of this small community.

The church stands on a corner lot in Lagro, its square bell tower and five pointed arched windows facing the street. The brick was hauled by canal boat from Huntington, and the half-octagonal apse with its lower, half-hipped sacristies can be picked out at the rear. The oratory is classified as an inactive parish, so it is not open for regular Mass.

The church's bell, obtained under Rev. John Ryan (pastor 1848–1865), was hauled by ox cart from Buffalo and still hangs in the present 1870s building. Rev. Patrick F. Roche later bought an 1800 Erben pipe organ for $700.
