History

Starting in 1870 Father Vincent Perrier would visit the Catholics living in Fort Worth twice a year.^[2] They met in the Carrico family home. Fort Worth’s first Catholic parish was St. Stanislaus. Its church building was a frame structure on Throckmorton Street. In 1879 Father Thomas Loughrey, who by that time had been assigned as the pastor of St. Stanislaus, started a school for boys. Classes were held in the church until 1907, when the frame structure was torn down.

The present St. Patrick's church was built to the north of the old St. Stanislaus Church. The cornerstone was laid in 1888 and the church was dedicated in 1892.^[2] James J. Kane designed it in the Gothic Revival style. St. Patrick's was elevated to a co-cathedral in 1953 when Pope Pius XII changed the name of the Diocese of Dallas to the Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth. Pope Paul VI divided the diocese and created the Diocese of Fort Worth on August 22, 1969. St. Patrick's was retained as the cathedral for the new diocese.^[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.^[1]
