Eveleth's three ethnic Roman Catholic parishes merged in the late 20th century, first with the historically Irish St. Patrick's church joining the Holy Family congregation in 1968. Ten years later, with the addition of the historically Italian congregation from Immaculate Conception church, Holy Family was renamed Resurrection Church.[4]
