Saint Patrick's Church

A Catholic Community in the Diocese of Scranton, Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Saint Patrick's Church is a welcoming Catholic Community in Milford, along the Delaware in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We are also a growing community being located in Pike County which has the fastest growing population of any county in the state.
Saint Patrick's began as a mission of Saint Joseph's Church, Matamoras, PA. It was established a parish by Most Rev. William J. Hafey, D.D., Bishop of Scranton, in 1946. The first pastor was Rev. Vincent J. Mahon who had been pastor of Saint Joseph's. He served as pastor from 1946 until his retirement in 1972.
The original church was built in 1877 and was sold and converted to secular use when the present church was built in 1956.
Very Rev. Gerald F. Mullally became pastor on September 1, 1988. Since that time we have rebuilt the hall attached to the church after a fire and converted the rectory into the Father Mahon Parish Center with offices and meeting rooms. The former convent building was completely renovated and is now serving as the rectory.
Saint Patrick's has just completed the Dedication of a new church. This beautiful church was several years in the planning and construction. On October 15, 200, Bishop Joseph Martino consecrated the new building for the glory of God and the worship of God's people. With this special moment we have entered a new era in the history of the Catholic Church and its people in Milford.
