Saint Patrick Church is a historic building and the second-oldest Catholic church building in Columbus, Ohio.[7] Located in the Discovery District neighborhood, the structure served as the pro-cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus until the consecration of Saint Joseph Cathedral. It has been served by priests of the Dominican Order since 1885[3] and is currently home to an active parish.
