The Reverend Demetrius A. Gallitzin, the pioneer missionary of the Alleghenies, said Mass in Newry as early as 1789.

In 1816, a little stone church was built in Newry and Father Gallitzin dedicated it under the title of Saint Patrick.

Bishop Kenrick blessed the church on August 11, 1833. This is the church that is still in use today.
