Free text: '''St. Patrick’s Parish''' is in [[Grenada]] ([[Grenada]]) and is part of the Diocese of St. George’s in Grenada. It is dedicated to [[Saint Patrick]]. == History == St. Patrick’s Parish in Sauteurs, Grenada, was established around 1790, making it one of the oldest Catholic parishes on the island. Its founding is linked to the French colonial period, during which Catholicism was the dominant religion in Grenada before British control in 1783. The parish church, located in the town of Sauteurs in the northern parish of St. Patrick, was built to serve the local Catholic community, including French settlers and enslaved Africans who were evangelized by missionaries. The current stone structure dates to the early 19th century, with renovations occurring over time to preserve its historical character. The parish gained significance in 1983 when it hosted memorial services following the U.S. invasion of Grenada, reflecting its role as a community anchor during times of crisis. Today, St. Patrick’s remains a vibrant part of the Diocese of St. George’s in Grenada, which was established as a diocese in 1956, and continues to serve both residents and visitors drawn to its historical and spiritual legacy. == Special features == * Historical stone church, constructed in the early 19th century, showcasing colonial-era architecture with a simple yet enduring design. * Proximity to Leapers’ Hill, a site where Carib Indians leapt to their deaths in 1651 rather than surrender to French colonizers, adding cultural and historical depth to the parish’s location. * Annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration, featuring Mass and community festivities that honor the patron saint and Grenadian heritage. * Connection to St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic School, fostering Catholic education in the northern region of Grenada. == Related parishes == * St. David’s Parish – Located to the south, another historic parish in the Diocese of St. George’s, sharing pastoral ties. * Grand Anse Parish (Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception) – The cathedral parish in St. George’s, serving as the diocesan seat and central hub. == References == <references />
