“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, 
and he will repay him for his deed.” [Proverbs 19:17]

St. Patrick Parish was established in 1993 as part of the Diocese's reorganization and revitalization program.

It was formed by merging St. Patrick, Alpsville, St. Denis, Versailles, and St. Perpetua, McKeesport.

We, the family of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Parish serving McKeesport, Versailles , Elizabeth Township and the surrounding communities welcome all.  Through mergers, we have become an ethnically diverse parish. We strive to nurture our seniors, to challenge and empower our youth to continue our faith tradition and for all to know, love and serve Jesus Christ.  Strengthened by the liturgy and sacraments , we seek to educate in faith, minister to those in need and extend hospitality to all and contribute to the spiritual and cultural life of our community.

Our Parish Saint is St. Patrick , who was a missionary in Ireland during the fifth century. He was taken there as a slave when he was a teenager. After he returned to his home in Britain , he believed he was called to go back to Ireland to pursue his mission of spreading Christianity. His life is an inspiration to our parish as we pursue our mission.
