St. Mary's Catholic Church is situated at the southern end of downtown Park City. It was built in 1883 and is the oldest Catholic Church and School Building in Utah still in use to this day. Irish immigrants who worked the coal mines made up a large portion of the population back then and almost all of whom were Catholic. A fire significantly damaged much of the building in 1951, but it was rebuilt by miners who were out of jobs.
