Just in case people are wondering—This particular St. Patrick’s is in New Zealand.

Napier was hit by a severe earthquake in 1931 which leveled a lot of the buildings in the city.

It appears that the original St. Patrick's Church in Napier was built in 1894 but this church was probably built after the earthquake.

My grandfather lived in Napier for a while before coming to the US so he probably belonged to this parish...but that was before 1931.
