The new millennium saw the celebration of our Church’s 75th anniversary. Many of our former pastors returned to St. Patrick’s Church to celebrate our 75th year as a parish. The new millennium saw more changes of pastors at St. Patrick’s as well. After Fr. Masabakhawa took a new assignment at St. Patrick’s Church in Neola, Iowa; Fr. Dean Nimerichter came to St. Patrick’s to assist Fr. Bertogli in ministry. Fr. Nimerichter stayed through the early part of 2004.

Once Fr. Bertogli’s tenure was complete in July 2005, Fr. David Fleming came to St. Patrick’s church. Under Fr. Fleming, a major overhaul of the outside of the church was completed including sandblasting and cleaning of the granite as well as major tuck-pointing. The church rectory was converted into parish offices where daily church business could occur. This move made available rooms for ministries and RCIA, and church bought an off-site townhome where the church pastor could reside.

Along with updates and changes to the building, St. Patrick’s saw a growth in parish communal activities including the launch of the annual St. Patrick’s festival. The church had 833 registered families and continues to minister in the present while looking forward to the future.

At the direction of the bishop, St. Patrick’s Church bought 12 acres of land at the corner of State Orchard and Steven’s Road with the intent to build a new church sometime in the future. It was deemed that this space would prove ineffective due to its inefficient use of space. A new parcel of land was purchased at the corner of Valley View and College Rd, early 2014. In 2015, a funding campaign began to raise money to start the building project. This was prompted by the selling of the church’s parking lot to the YMCA by Mercy Hospital.
