St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church
1039 Isabella St., Linwood
Begun: 1922
Until 1907, Linwood Catholics attended church at St. Clement's as well as at St. Joseph's, Macton. In 1907 one acre of land was donated by John Friedmann for a combined church and school. A new, separate, church was built in 1922 at which time the congregation ceased to be a mission of Macton. The date on the cornerstone of the present church building is 1922. The basement of the church was built, roofed over, and used as a church for several years before the building was finally completed.

Baptism dates: 1922- Location of records: at church
Marriage dates: 1922- Location of records: at church

Some early records may be with St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Macton.
