St. Patrick is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, located in Kokomo, Indiana. Dedicated to Saint Patrick, the fifth-century missionary bishop and patron saint of Ireland, the parish has served Catholics in Howard County since the mid-nineteenth century.

According to available diocesan records, the parish traces its founding to 1859, making it one of the older Catholic communities in the Kokomo area. As with many parishes established in the nineteenth-century Midwest, St. Patrick likely grew out of the pastoral needs of Irish and other immigrant Catholic families settling in and around Kokomo during that era.

Today the parish continues to serve the local Catholic community within the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, offering the sacraments and various ministries to residents of Kokomo and the surrounding region.
