Conveniently located in the centre of downtown Banff, St. Mary's Catholic Church remains as one of Bow Valley's greatest historical properties.
Established by the Oblate Fathers in 1888 as an outreach to both the Îyârhe Nakoda (who historically had more ties with the Methodist Church) and the tourists that were beginning to come to Canada’s first national parks, the present church was built in 1951 in a modestly sumptuous Romanesque revival style by Fr. Robert McGuinness.
It features bespoke Austrian windows, detailed mosaics of church history, and beautiful limestone and marble altar furnishings. Each detail was carefully saved for and crafted by generations of Banffites, who have been proud to say that St. Mary’s is their spiritual home.
