St Pat's Church, about 6 miles south of Atchison, Kansas is a lovely old stone church. The area has never incorporated and there are no nearby businesses. The neighborhood is known as St. Pats. but there are only a few families living nearby. The congregation is spread over two townships.

St. Patrick's parish was established by German and Irish immigrants in 1857, and a wooden church was competed in 1859. The wooden structure was destroyed by a tornado in 1861 and replaced with a 20 x 30' log building. The present church building was completed in 1866. 

St Pat's Church building is only open for mass, but some of the interior can be viewed through window in a door near the front. The parish is served by the Pastor of St. Benedict's Catholic Church in Atchison.

Saint Pat's Church was added to the National Register in 1998.
