Saints Mary and Joseph Catholic Church
The historic log church was the original parish church of Saints Mary and Joseph Catholic parish. Saints Mary and Joseph Parish is a small, family oriented parish about 30 minutes west of Duluth on the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation. The log church is located behind the present church building along Mission Road in Sawyer (approximately one mile north of MN Highway 210 at Sawyer).
Sunday Mass at Saints Mary and Joseph Church is offered at 10:30am every Sunday. Occasionally during the weeks from the late spring through the middle of autumn our 10:30am Mass is offered in the log church. Please check our weekly bulletin for the most current information and join us for worship!

Nestled in history and built with care, the authentic Old Log Church stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and faith of generations past.
