Immigrants from several counties - mostly catholic - began settling in what became known as the Mariaihilf district in the 1890s. The first church, school and teacherage burned down. A second church was also destroyed by fire. Undaunted, this chapel was built in the 1920s and has endured. The building and the adjacent cemetery are well maintained.

A modest little chapel located on a plot of land between an historic school and a cemetery, south of Leader, Saskatchewan. The surrounding fields had already been harvested in mid-September when this was taken. The evening sky made an interesting backdrop to the chapel.

A view of Mariahilf chapel, near Lemberg, in late evening light in late September, 2022.

A church, a school, a teacherage and a cemetery were established here around 1900. The chapel is the third house of worship built here. The cairn has the school bell mounted on top.

This little chapel in a rural area near Lemberg is well kept, and the plastic flowers in the windows indicate that it is still used. The original church built by German Catholic settlers burned down in 1904. The second church was destroyed by fire in 1921. They decided to rebuild on the site as a chapel, which I guess is 100 years old in 2022.

Another perspective on a small chapel located on a plot of land that also includes a cemetery and a one-room school. This image was taken near the end of a hot day in mid-August.

This tiny chapel could use some paint on the outside, but the interior is clean and cozy, with three pews on each side of a centre aisle. The chapel is situated in the corner of a field with an historic school house and cemetery, which is just visible in the background. This image was taken near sunset on a hot August evening. Harvest dust in the air has softened the image somewhat.
