The impetus for the founding of St. Patrick’s Parish came with the building of Ft. Riley in 1853. Irish and German immigrants, stone masons and carpenters, employed in the construction of the Fort later settled in the area, many of them in and around Ogden.
In 1854, at the invitation of the commandant, Major Ogden, a priest from St. Mary’s Jesuit house began to hold services at Ft. Riley once a month. He was called upon from time to time to administer the Sacraments to the residents of Ogden. Jesuit Father Duerinck probably performed the first marriage in Ogden. As the number of settlers in the area increased, Ogden became a regular mission station.
