Lamont County has 47 Churches – more per capita than anywhere else in North America.
A booklet containing self-guided driving tours of our 47 churches is available for $2 at the County Office. If you would like one sent out by mail, please send a cheque for $3 to Lamont County, General Delivery, Lamont AB TOB 2RO. The County has also prepared a poster showing a picture of each church. The poster is $3 at the County Office or Basilian Fathers Museum in Mundare. Due to the high costs of “tubes”, the poster is $8 by mail. If you want both poster and booklet, the cost will be $10. Contact the County Office for further information.
Please remember that our churches are struggling with high costs for maintenance and repairs. If you do ask someone to open up a church for you, a small donation into their “church maintenance box” would be most welcome.
Lamont County’s Church Tour Booklet was a provincial winner in the Attractions Canada 2001 and 2003 Awards Program.
For 2013 and moving forward, the Lamont County Doors Open Church Tour been considerably reinvented. Taking place August 24-25, 2013 will be the first annual Babas and Borshch Ukrainian Festival in Andrew Alberta. The festival will include live music, family entertainment, tours of the museum, elevator and Andrew Orthodox Church, as well as an evening banquet and dance.
We hope to see you there!
