About St. Patrick parish
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!

Millions of monicas prayer group
Many of us know someone who is struggling to embrace their Catholic faith or have left the church entirely. With the strength of St. Monica, we persevere in prayer for their joyful return to full unity with the Catholic Church. We are not a support group or a self-help group. No sensitive information is shared. We believe that by coming together monthly, uniting our hearts and voices praying together, we can bring strength and joy to each other. We want to encounter God through prayer for ourselves and for those who have strayed from the church.
Join this powerful prayer group of ladies on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm. Or the 4th Thursday of the month at 8:30am. We meet in the chapel.Next meetings are Tuesday, May 27th at 6:30pm and Thursday, May 22nd at 8:30am.
