St. Patrick (Lowell) Baptisms 1847-1878, Part 2. St. Patrick (Lowell) was the first Catholic church in Lowell, established in the 1830s. As the Catholic population grew, St. Peter (Lowell) became the second Catholic church in the area. By 1847, the parishioners of St. Patrick’s were ever greater in number. A new building was purchased, and St. Mary (Lowell) was dedicated. When St. Patrick’s church was again enlarged, it enveloped St. Mary (Lowell) so the church was closed. The former church building was turned into a Catholic school.
