St. Joachim Catholic Church, Edmonton

Saint Joachim's Church is another church in Edmonton which distinguishes itself by being the oldest Roman Catholic parish in this city. Its foundation was influenced by bishop Albert Lacombe who converted a small building into a chapel. Later this chapel was renamed by another bishop – Alexander Antoine Tache in Saint Joachim. In 1877 this parish changed its location and was rebuilt on Jasper Avenue. In 1886, Hudson's Bay Company finished construction of the 3rd church, named Saint Joachim. Much later, in 1978, this parish was designated as a provincial historic landmark.
