Mission Statement
 We, the members of St. Patricks Parish, Perry, Iowa, affirm our union with all members of the Roman Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ and governed by his vicar, the Bishop of Rome. Through the grace of the Holy Spirit, we recognize ourselves as sharers in the role of Christ, the Priest, the Prophet, and the King, and we declare ourselves willing to accept the mission of our Lord Jesus Christ to carry on his work of salvation in the people church of St. Patricks.
Nora O'Malley's Vision Shaped the Future of St. Patrick's Students
 In 1914, a very spirited and determined woman began the effort to bring St. Patrick's Catholic School to Perry, Iowa. Since then, hundreds of students have benefited from the Catholic education they might not have received had it not been for the persistence and dedication of Mrs. Nora O'Malley. Read the full story of Mrs. O'Malley's quest to open St. Patrick's, as told by her son, Dr. George O'Malley, Class of 1929.
