St Patrick's Church refers to two different Roman Catholic churches in Leeds, England. A "parish church" is a main church for a local area. The first church was built a long time ago, between 1889 and 1891. It was designed by an architect named John Kelly. This old building is now considered a special historical building, called a Grade II listed building. It was located on Rider Street.
In April 2001, St Patrick's Church moved to a new location on Torre Road. The old church building closed, and the new one opened the very next day. The current St Patrick's Church is on Torre Road, in the eastern part of the city.

History of St Patrick's Church
Building the First Church
Work on the first St Patrick's Church began in 1889. This church was located on Rider Street in Leeds. The building was designed by a famous architect named John Kelly. He also designed other churches, like All Saints' Church in London and Sacred Heart Church in Teddington. The first St Patrick's Church officially opened its doors in 1891.
The Church Moves to a New Home
Around April 2001, a brand new St Patrick's Church was built on Torre Road in Leeds. Once the new building was ready, the old church on Rider Street closed down. The very next day, the new church opened for services. The original church building is now used by the West Yorkshire Playhouse, which is a theatre. It is also next to a place called East Street Arts.
Church Services
St Patrick's Church holds two Sunday Masses (church services). One Mass is on Saturday evening at 6:00 PM. The other Mass is on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM.
