On November 12, 1912 Bishop Hennessey dedicated the Church of St. Patrick in Kingman. We have been worshipping God in this church for 96 years. The celebration of the dedication of a church ranks ahead of all other memorials in the calendar. It is on the same level as a wedding anniversary. The Church is the bride and Jesus is the groom. For us in our community of Kingman Jesus has been a devoted spouse and husband to us. You celebrate your wedding anniversary as a way of renewing your joy at the yes that was exchanged between you. We celebrate the dedication of our Church as a renewal of the yes of the people of Kingman to the love of God.
You are living stones being built into the temple of God.
