St. James Catholic Church – Historic Site

St. James Catholic Church is valued as an example of new interconnected design as a result of the church’s embrace of modernism and Roman Catholic Church reforms from 1962 to 1965. Typically, traditional church plans have separate buildings for each function. St. James is a modern expression of the traditional church model, incorporating the separate functions of a church into one interconnected building (Design value – City-wide significance).

St. James Catholic Church is also highly valued as an excellent example of Expressionist-style architecture with its sweeping raw and ribbed concrete steeple with punctured cruciform and raised copper oculus. It is a rare and intact example in Calgary (Style value – City-wide significance).

St. James Catholic Church is valued symbolically as a key building in the North Glenmore Park neighbourhood that contributes to its development as a complete community (Symbolic value – Community significance).

The church is valued as a landmark in the community for its Expressionist-style architecture and connection to the North Glenmore Park neighbourhood (Landmark value – Community Significance).

  7. This is where I belong
    Eryn Minifie’s journey to Catholicism began with a deep love for Jesus but uncertainty about what it truly meant. Feeling lost despite being surrounded by loved ones, she started attending Mass at St. Michael’s Catholic Community last February. As she joined RCIA, Eryn discovered a newfound fullness in her life. Her transformative experience peaked during the Easter Vigil in 2024 when she was baptized by Fr. Edmund Vargas, affirming her place in His Kingdom. Read more
