Nota geral
The parish of Mount St. Patrick is named after the patron saint of Ireland and is the oldest parish in the Diocese of Pembroke, which officially began in January 1843. Father McCormac arrived in Mount St. Patrick from Ireland in January 1867 and oversaw the construction of a stone church that was completed in 1869. It was built by pioneer settlers from Ireland in the and was nestled within the highland view of the Mount St. Patrick Mountains range. Mount St. Patrick church was later renovated in 1929 and was replaced in 1998. The village of Mount St. Patrick is part of the Diocese of Pembroke, Ontario, and is situated on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people and covered by the Upper Canada Treaties.
Father McCormac was also responsible for the founding and blessing of the Holy Well (Miraculous Spring) on the nearby shores of Constant Creek. Holy springs are venerated landmarks used for personal devotion, prayer and healing in Ireland’s long held religious and cultural traditions. Sadly, Father McCormac drowned while fishing in Constant Creek on June 4, 1874. Over the years, pilgrims have visited the sacred waters at Mount St. Patrick Holy well, adjacent shrine, and cemetery, to partake in St. Patrick Day feasts, processions, and re-dedication ceremonies.
In September 1916, St. Joseph’s Convent in Mount St. Patrick was erected as a residence for the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peterborough. The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Pembroke, initially a mission of Peterborough, were first incorporated as a separate Congregation by letters patent dated January 21, 1922, under the Ontario Companies. Fourteen of the initial twenty-two Sisters of Pembroke served in Peterborough missions in Douglas, Killaloe, and Mount St. Patrick. The Sisters served the Mount St. Patrick community for 47 years by teaching children from primary school to Grade 8 and conducting music classes until July 1963. In 1992, Sister Mary King became a pastoral assistant in Mount St. Patrick after assisting in pastoral care since 1989. She had been a high school student in Mount St. Patrick, and after the completion of Grade 12 Sister Mary King entered the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Pembroke. She then studied nursing at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto and worked as a nurse in Alberta and Saskatchewan. After retirement from her nursing career, she worked with the local community and parish of Mount St. Patrick from 1989 until her death in 2004.
