    The new St. Patrick's church was dedicated, serving a predominantly Irish immigrant population of about 30,000 and intended as the Irish national church of San Francisco and the West Coast. The parish had been established in 1851 in a rented hall at 4th and Jessie streets, and its lot on the north side of Mission Street was bought after the Civil War.
