St. Patrick's Eddyville was begun in 1887 southeast of Eddyville when the Burns family donated a plot of land for the cemetery and a church was built there. In 1893 the church was moved to its present sight as a mission for Lexington and Kearney. Mass was held on weekdays instead of Sunday. In 1907 the present church was built with Father Daly the first pastor. Later that year Father Mustermann became the first resident pastor. Dedication of the church was July 28, 1909. Amherst became a mission of Eddyville in 1928. In 1982 Amherst became a mission of Kearney when Father Lou Nollette was assigned to Eddyville, Oconto, and Callaway. This remained until 1994.
It is regrettable to note that St. Patrick no longer has weekend masses on a regular basis. This sad event was a result of declining priests in our diocese and a declining population in our rural communities.
Special Services are still held on All Soul Day, St. Patrick's Day, and for funerals.

The church building was erected in Eddyville in 1902 and dedicated on February 15, 1903. In 1914 an addition to the church was built. It included a basement and a 16 x 28 foot structure to the south of the building. In 1946 The Evangelical Church and the United Brethren Church formed the Evangelical United Brethren Church. While Rev. Keith Griffith was pastor of the church from 1953 until 1961. The church was given a new enclosure, a new hardwood floor laid in the sanctuary and an addition was built providing 2 rest rooms, a classroom and a new kitchen. In 1968 the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged with the United Methodist Church forming the United Methodist Church. In 1980 the bell Tower from the church was removed and was mounted in the church grounds. Vinyl siding was added to the church in 2002.
