St Patrick's Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. It was built in 1832 and was designed by Joseph Kaye, an architect from Bradford. It is situated on the junction between New North Road and Castlegate in the centre of the town. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History
Construction
In 1831, land for the church was leased from a local family, the Ramsdens. Construction began that year and the church was designed by Joseph Kaye of Huddersfield (1783-1858). On 26 September 1832, the church was opened.[3]
Decoration
In 1874, the interior was redecorated. That year, a new stained-glass windows was installed in the sanctuary of the church. In 1889, new seating was put into the church as well as a new organ.[3]
In 1962, reordering of the church took place. A new porch was added, and a new altar and reredos were installed. More reordering followed with the side altars being later removed and lectern and font being added. From 1980 to 1981, the exterior of the church was cleaned.[3]
Parish
In 2007, the parishes of St Patrick's, Holy Family in the west and Our Lady of Lourdes in the east of the town were merged to become the Parish of the Holy Redeemer.
There are four Sunday Masses at St Patrick's Church: 6:00 pm on Saturday evening and 9:00 am, 11:00 am and 5:00 pm on Sunday. Our Lady of Lourdes Church has two Sunday Masses: 6:00 pm on Saturday evening and 10:30 am on Sunday morning. Holy Family Church has one Sunday Mass at 9:30 am.[4]
