Cemeteries

Like so many others, this church is an example of a structure rebuilt after a previous church succumbed to fire. Now in need of some repair, the building is still an imposing structure.

In 1987 the first Orthodox liturgy on Canadian soil was celebrated near this church site. Completed in 1899, this church was the first Orthodox Church in Canada.

A quaint church has as beautiful, imposing bell tower and well-kept cemetery beside it.

This parish can be traced back to 1897–1898, making it one of the first Russo-Greek Orthodox parishes in Canada.

Although mass is only held here once a year, this church remains in pretty good shape.

The present church is an architectural departure when compared to other rural churches in the area. But when you read about the history of past buildings being lost to fire, you realize that compact, practical buildings may be the wise choice in the long run.

Russo-Greek Orthodox Catholic Church of St. James is one of the oldest churches in Lamont County.

St. Mary’s Church of Shishkovitzy is a very well-maintained church and stands on the same piece of land that housed an original structure built from 1898 to 1903, before Alberta became a province.

Tofield Cemetery is a large, well-kept enclosure about 1.8 kms north of Tofield on highway 843.
