Frank Griswold, the 25th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, USA, led Centennial celebrations at St. Patrick's on October 30, 2011.

"[7][8] Anderson was called to fulfill a vision that St. Patrick's be "involved in the newly emerging America that recognized and accepted its racial, national, and 'gender' minorities.

Anderson founded St. Patrick's Southeast Enrichment Center located at 8th and I (Eye) Streets, SE to offer community services like tutoring with local schools, food, and clothing.

[9] The money for the creation of the program came from designated outreach funds of the capital campaign to renovate the church building in 1965.

Earlier on that same day (April 5, 1968), Ronald Reagan, then Governor of California, visited the Southeast Enrichment Center for about 45 minutes.

After the fire, the Southeast Enrichment Center programs moved to 729 Eighth Street, SE (just three doors north).

[10] Black Coats, Inc., a carpet cleaning company, was a job creation and entrepreneurial opportunity program supported by the St. Patrick's Southeast Enrichment Center.

In order to match the Palisades neighborhood, the architects broke down the structure into an "abundance of small, gabled brick shapes."

[15] The Great Hall is a multi-purpose room that can, when needed, be used to expand the seating capacity of the worship space.

"[16] The Dean sent four 700-year-old stones from the edifice of the Cathedral that were created into a font using funds collected from children of St. Patrick's.

It was completed and dedicated in 1920 to the late Lottie Stewart Ellis (1885–1918) who was the long time Directress of the Font Roll.
