The original parish boundaries were large, extending from Olive Street to Atchison, Kansas; and from the Missouri River to the Platte River.
In 1960, as the result of the construction of 36 Highway, Holy Rosary Parish, a predominantly Mexican parish, and St. Patrick parish merged. The merged parish continued to grow and expand. Today St. Patrick consists of approximately 300 families.
St. Patrick church is part of the Kansas city-St Joseph Diocese.
