Overview
About St. Mary & St. George Anglican Church
A block off Jasper’s main drag, St. Mary & St. George is a small, historic Anglican church that feels like a deep breath in the middle of town. Built in the late 1920s, it’s a classic English Gothic Revival design that fits the Rockies’ mood—stone, timber, and a handsome tower—without feeling fussy.
Why stop
- Lovely Gothic Revival stonework and stained glass
- Peaceful spot right in the Jasper townsite
Heads up
- Often only open for services or events
- Small interior suited to short visits
If you like architecture and local history, this is an easy, worthwhile detour between coffee and your next trailhead. The stained glass is the standout—panels that nod to the mountains and wildlife—while the calm garden and simple sanctuary offer a quiet reset from Jasper’s bustle.

Completed in 1927, the church blends local stone with rough stucco and half‑timbering to sit naturally in its mountain setting. It’s recognized as a municipal historic resource and remains an active parish. Look for the Edith Cavell–inspired tower and stained glass details; you may also find small displays about the church’s story.
