Construction of St. Patrick's Catholic Church was completed in 1904. Prior to that time, the congregation met for Mass in Preston Kellams Hall, in a private residence located across Church Street. Funds were raised to build a new church, and the first Mass was celebrated in the unfinished building on Christmas 1903, with parishioners seated on planks resting on kegs of nails.
The church was originally situated on the steep hill behind the current post office. To improve access, the building was placed on timbers and moved to this location in 1930.
In the early years, priests would take the train from Callicoon to Long Eddy, staying overnight Saturday with parishioners. The mission churches, such as St. Patrick's, arose in many of the nearby towns and hamlets and were staffed by the Franciscan Friars who lived and taught at St. Joseph's Seraphic Seminary in Callicoon. St. Patrick's was fondly called "the pearl of the mission."
