St. Mary’s Catholic Church was constructed from locally milled redwood at a cost of $3,000 in 1867 – money that was raised by the townspeople. Today the church looks as it did in 1867. Two hitching posts and a white picket fence were added early on. Facing the town square, the church has greeted Nicasio visitors for more than a century and has been a favorite subject of photographers and artists for nearly as long. For the majority of Nicasio families, St. Mary’s Church has been an integral part of the community, many of whom received their first sacrament here. Throughout the years, St. Mary’s has remained a Bay Area favorite for nuptials, with the Nicasio town square providing the ideal backdrop.
In 1967, at 100 years of age, St. Mary’s Church was declared a historical monument by the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden West, an event celebrated with much fanfare. The bronze plaque installed in front notes the church’s dedication by Archbishop Joseph Alemany.
Open to Visitation: Sunday Mass 11:15 a.m. Thursday Mass 8:00 a.m.
