See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.
—St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 8
St. Patrick's Parish is a proud part of the Diocese of Kansas City - St. Joseph, led by His Excellency Bishop James V. Johnston
