- St. Patrick's Catholic Church
- "James P. Carrigan, who was appointed pastor of St. Stephen's in Glenwood Springs in 1910, began making monthly visits to celebrate Mass in Thomas Minturn's section house. With his encouragement, local Catholics formed St. Patrick's parish on September 13, 1913. Thanks to a $500 gift from the Catholic Extension Society and funds raised by parish suppers and plays, a church was constructed in the fall of 1925. Howard G. Bayers built the one-story, frame, twenty-four-by-thirty-six-foot structure for $1,270. Monthly Masses were offered by the pastor of Glenwood Springs, and, in 1936, Benedictine sisters from Canon City launched a three-week summer vacation school at St. Patrick's. The sisters stayed with the families of various parishioners, including those of J.P. Doyle, J.A. Mack, William McBreen, and Charles A. Robbie. St. Patrick's was enlarged in 1950 with an $875 donation from the Catholic Extension Society. After adding a basement, a choir loft, a confessional, and a new ceiling, members built a rectory and petitioned Archbishop Vehr for a resident priest. Joseph J. Leberer arrived in 1952 with responsibility for the missions of Mt. Carmel at Redcliff as well as St. Patrick's." --http://saintpatrickminturn.com/history.asp
