St. Patrick Church - Mount Sterling at 139 West Main Street, Mount Sterling, KY 40353 US - Home
Early records indicate that there were Catholic Masses celebrated as early as 1846 in Mount Sterling, but the first parish was formally established in 1868. At that time, a house purchased by Father Lambert Willie on East Main Street served as the Catholic church. It was not long before the congregation outgrew this building, prompting Father Patrick Jones to secure a larger location. St. Patrick Catholic Church was built in 1882 on the site of the old Drake Cotton Factory on West Main Street, which had been destroyed by John Morgan and his Confederate Raiders during the Civil War. The church still stands there today.
