Welcome
to St. Patrick's Parish Web site. This Parish is the sole
English-speaking Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of Québec
and it provides spiritual and religious ministrations to the
Anglophones of our city and surroundings. It is located in
the heart of Québec, not far from the walled City,
with easy access to the historic sites that have made Quebec
famous worldwide.
But apart from its great location, the hallmark of St. Patrick's
is the kindness and warmth of its parishioners. Although a
close-knit community, it is immensely hospitable and welcoming
to travelers and tourists, all fellow Roman Catholics. They
remember that their ancestors, fleeing from the potato famine
in Ireland in the mid-nineteen century, were welcomed with
open arms by the French population of Québec City.
Many families adopted Irish orphans whose descendants now
comprise the bulk of St. Patrick's parishioners and they pride
themselves in showing the same hospitality and generosity
that was given to their great-grandparents.
To all who visit our Web site, know that you are always welcome
at St. Patrick's Church in Québec City.
