St. Patrick Catholic Parish of White Lake is a Catholic faith community that celebrates Life in Christ. As we are nourished and led by the Holy Spirit, our common Baptismal mission is: to evangelize; to proclaim and to teach the Word of God; to praise and to worship God in Word and Sacrament; and to live His Word through loving service to ALL people. On this active faith journey, we are called to be disciples who affirm, heal and forgive in the love of Christ. We are glad that you are here on this journey with us!

St. Patrick Parish of White Lake has been serving the needs of our Catholic community since 1834. We are home to the oldest frame Catholic Church building in the lower penninsula of Michigan and still have Masses in our "Little White Chapel" on Memoral Day and Labor Day each year.
We are a part of the West Oakland Family of Parishes which also includes; Church of the Holy Spirit in Hightland, St. Mary Our Lady of the Snows in Milford, and St. Perpetua Parish in Waterford.
St. Patrick is fortunate to have Father David Cybulski and Father Paul Graney as Priest in Solidum.
You can learn more about our history here and we look forward to learning more about you!
