 St. Patrick Catholic Church ~ Dungannon, Virginia. - posted by Manville Possum

St. Patrick's Mission is a small Catholic Church located in a log-cabin style structure, located near the post office in Duncannon, Virginia. The building was constructed in 1946-1947 by the Glenmary Home Missioners (www.glenmary.org), a Catholic charitable organization dedicated to caring for underserved areas of rural Appalachia. The church was transferred to the Richmond Diocese in December 2013, and is currently operated in combination with St. Bernard's, another Glenmary church located in nearby Gate City, by the Holy Trinity Parish Cluster (www.stanthonycatholic.org)

St. Patricks supports a quite small community of parishioners, consisting of less than two dozen souls at the most generous estimate. Services are conducted on Sundays at noon.

The church's community website is located at (visit link)

Videos from the archives of the Glenmary Home Parishoners, interesting not only for views of the church itself, but of the local community.
