Church of the Nativity

1888-1930

In 1888, at the insistence of a group of Catholic

Laymen, The First Catholic Church in Flagstaff was built of brick on the south side of town. It was moved in 1911 to a temporary site just west of and across the street from the present permanent gothic structure, of native volcanic rock, which was completed and dedicated in 1930.

Marker is at the intersection of West Cherry Avenue and North Beaver Street, on the right when traveling west on West Cherry Avenue.
