WHO WE ARE

Mission & Story:

In 1881, God gave a small group of Catholic miners a mission to bring to the mountains of Park City, UT the world’s greatest treasure: the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, the Eucharist, and the Faith, Hope, and Charity that flow from Him.

Today, God’s mission for St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church has spread from the streets of Old Town Park City, to the meadows of Park City’s White Pine Canyon, to the Heber Valley, and beyond. St. Mary’s seeks to evangelize, catechize, give back in Charity, and enrich the community through the Catholic Faith and its intellectual, artistic, and cultural traditions. To bring all the treasure of Jesus Christ, for the salvation of souls, and the Greater Glory of God!
