History

St. Patrick's Church was founded in 1870 and is located in historic Tipperary Hill on the west side of Syracuse. The church was dedicated on September 15, 1872 by Bishop Francis McNerny of the Albany Diocese.

Many of the first parishioners arrived in 1825 from all the various counties in Ireland to work on the Erie Canal and settled in Tipperary Hill. The first mass was celebrated on July 31st, 1870 by Rev. Hugh Shields, the first pastor, in Cool's Hall, located at 101 Hamilton Street, on the banks of the Erie Canal. [3] There is an annual Irish Festival.

Today

During the summer of 2012, St. Patrick's was canonically linked with St. Brigid's church, which means that they are still separate parishes, but share a pastor.

The Erie Canal in New York is part of the east–west, cross-state route of the New York State Canal System. It was built to create a navigable water route from New York City and the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, originally stretching for 363 miles (584 km) from the Hudson River in Albany to Lake Erie in Buffalo. Completed in 1825, it was the second longest canal in the world and greatly enhanced the development and economy of the cities of New York, including Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and New York City, as well as the United States. This was in part due to the new ease of transport of salt and other goods, and industries that developed around those.
