St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church

Known officially as “The Church of the Immaculate Conception of Mary”, this church was designed and built by Father Francis Dales in 1954. It replaced an earlier wood frame structure, built in 1917 in Clairmont, and was moved to this site in 1920. In 1954, it was moved to Belloy to make way for the construction of this building. Father Dales was a strong community leader who also built and presided over the straw church at Bad Heart, now a provincial historic resource. The earlier wooden church was eventually returned to Sexsmith and located near the 1921 Frontier lumber yard, but both structures burned down in 2009.
