1. St Joseph Roman Catholic Church Marker
For over 100 years, St. Joseph's has served the community of Field. Mass is still held here during the summer, and the original church bell tolls on special occasions. Prior to the 1950's, the building featured a natural wood exterior. The church embodies the peaceful spirit of Field and has attracted photographers for years.
L'eglise Catholique Romaine St Joseph
Pendant plus de 100 ans, l'église Saint-Joseph a desservi la collectivité de Field. On y célèbre toujours la messe en été et la cloche d'origine de l'église sonne encore lors d'occasions spéciales. Avant les années 1950, l'extérieur de l'église était en bois naturel. L'église incarne l'atmosphère de tranquillité qui règne à Field et, depuis des années, elle est très prisée des photographes.
The Friends of Yoho and descendents of Field's Italian community work together with other local volunteers to maintain this spiritual landmark. It is the last of four churches that once graced this town.
