From "The History of St. Patrick's", this article appeared in the Catholic Accent on Thursday, ( I don't have the next page ). I believe I received my copy from the Diocese of Greenburg, 723 East Pittsburgh Street, Greensburg, PA 15601-2697, 724-837-0901, FAX 724-837-0857 Third paragraph down it says, "St. Patrick's Church, situated in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, at a place known as Sugar Creek, not far from the Butler County Line, is the oldest Catholic church west of the Allegheny Mountains. Only 18 years short of two centuries (which if I figured right this article was written in 1988) this church founded in 1806, began humbly with colorful and illustrious personalities." The address I have for the church is; Saint Patrick Church R. D. 1, Box 78 Brady's Bend, Pennsylvania 16028 I have a letter signed by Tricia L. Howard with the Saint Patrick Church letterhead If one has not been to this site, it is well worth the trip, it is a beautiful spot of our big wide wonderful world. I have pictures I can send to the website for folks to see, if the webmaster can put up pictures.
