St. Patrick's Church (Quebec City)

St. Patrick's Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It is dedicated to Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and served historically as the principal church for the city's English-speaking Irish Catholic community.

The church was built in the Gothic Revival style, and its cornerstone was laid in 1831. The building was completed and opened for worship in 1833. Its construction was largely driven by the growing number of Irish immigrants arriving in Quebec City, particularly during the early 19th century. These immigrants often faced hardship and discrimination, and the church provided a spiritual and social center for them.

The architectural design features include pointed arches, stained glass windows, and a prominent steeple. The interior houses religious artwork and artifacts reflecting Irish Catholic tradition. Throughout its history, St. Patrick's Church has played an important role in the religious and cultural life of Quebec City's Irish community, offering services, education, and social support. It remains an active parish within the Archdiocese of Quebec.
