Roman Catholic Parish · Diocese of Hamilton
Love others
as Christ loves you!
For nearly a century and a half, this parish has stood on King Street East — gathering for the Mass, opening its door to the poor, and keeping a seat for whoever walks in next. That seat is yours.

I. You are welcome here
Whether it's been a week or twenty years, you are welcome here!
Coming to a new church can feel daunting. It needn't. Come as you are — no one will single you out, and you don't need to know when to sit or stand. Arrive a few minutes early and someone from our hospitality ministry will help you feel at home.
- Children are always welcome — restlessness and all. Children's Liturgy is offered at the Sunday 9:00 and 11:30 AM Masses.
- Can't attend Mass in person? Find a livestreamed Mass.
Who we are
Our mission
We are St. Patrick Parish, a Roman Catholic Church in the heart of the City of Hamilton, ON.
Our community is a mosaic of cultures and spiritualities. We are called to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ by actively embracing our Baptismal commitment.
We gather around the table of the Word and Eucharist to be nourished and strengthened as a family of faith, and then we are sent forth to put our prayer into action.
We strive to live out of a missionary spirit that focuses our ministry on the poor and marginalized in our midst.
We share our faith through hospitality and fellowship, actively embracing the call to compassion by loving others as Christ loves us.
“Dilexit nos et tradidit semetipsum”
“Christ loves us and gave himself up for us” Eph 5:2
