 In 1851, a log church was established, as the faith was the priority item to the immigrants. By the early 1860's more natives of Ireland had joined their brothers and the congregation had out grown the tiny church. The beautiful sandstone structure we know today as St. Patrick's Georgetown was constructed during the 1860's as the pioneers themselves quarried the stone and hoisted it in place. Work was delayed by the civil war, but the Irish were determined and as a result, we have the lovely site of worship that is so near and dear to the Irish hearts today.
