History: St. Patrick Church and St. Joseph Church, Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi, are two jointly administered predominantly non-Native American parishes in the Diocese of Jackson (Archives: Jackson, Mississippi).

(1881-1920), had attended to two Native American (Choctaw) mission stations:
| 1915-1910s | Hays station, Scott County |
| 1915-1910s | Lake station, Newton and Scott Counties |
