St. Patrick's Anglican Church, located in historic Governor's Harbour, holds a rich history dating back to 1848. Originally established in the mid-19th century, the church has been a focal point of the community for over 175 years. Its impressive stature was further enhanced by an enlargement in 1876, a testament to the growing congregation that sought solace within its walls. After years of devoted service, St. Patrick's Anglican Church was finally dedicated in 1892, solidifying its place as a symbol of faith and unity in this charming, historic town. The church stands as a testament to the enduring nature of worship, a sacred space where generations have come together to find solace, celebrate their faith, and build a vibrant community rooted in the teachings of St. Patrick.

 As a boy of fourteen or so, Patrick was captured and taken to Ireland as a slave; his captivity lasted until he was twenty, when he escaped after having a dream from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast.  When reunited with his family he began his studies for the priesthood and was ordained a bishop, and sent to take the gospel to Ireland.  Patrick preached and converted all of Ireland for 40 years.  He worked many miracles and wrote of his love for God in Confessions.  After years of living in poverty, traveling and enduring much suffering he died March 17, 461AD. 

St. Patrick's Church celebrates its Patronal Festival on the Sunday closest to the 17th March.
