St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church

St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, formally recognized as a Provincial Historic Resource in 2001, stands as a notable example of early twentieth century Carpenter Gothic architecture located in Calgary's historic Midnapore community. Constructed in 1904, this wood frame church features characteristic elements such as a steeply pitched gable roof and pointed arch windows, reflecting the unique architectural style of Alberta's religious institutions during this period.

The church represents the establishment of early religious communities in southern Alberta, symbolizing both social and spiritual life in the region. Its historical significance is further highlighted by its connection to key figures like Father Albert Lacombe, one of the first resident priests, and its proximity to other heritage sites such as St. Paul's Anglican Church and the Lacombe Home.
