History

St. Patrick Church is first Catholic church in the North End of Bridgeport. The immense church makes quite an impression on unsuspecting motorists traveling on the Interstate highway close by. The parish was formed from the third division of the parish of St. Augustine's Cathedral.

Building

After the parish's founding, masses were held for many years in a basement church designed by James Murphy or Providence, RI. Around 1910, the massive superstructure was added by Dwyer and McMahon of Hartford, CT.[1]
