HISTORY |
St. Edward’s Church was the first Catholic Church in Pagosa Springs. It was
organized and built in 1893. At that time the parish priest would come form
Conejos or San Luis. The Theatine Fathers came to Durango in 1906, and after
their arrival they served Pagosa Springs and the outlying mission churches in
Archuleta County.
The current church was dedicated as the Immaculate Heart of Mary by Bishop
Joseph Willging on May 22, 1949. The church was designated a mission of Sacred
Heart in Durango. Once a month, the priest would commute to Pagosa Springs to
celebrate mass. In 1951, the church became a parish with a resident priest.
Disaster struck in 1960 when the parish hall was destroyed by fire, but the
congregation joined forces and a new hall was completed by the next year. |
