Thank you for visiting our Tri-Parish home on the internet! We are located in Northwest Oklahoma and are part of the Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. The Most Reverend Paul S. Coakley is our Archbishop. The Catholic presence in Woods and Alfalfa county goes back to the late 1880s and continues to this day.
The current Sacred Heart Church building is the third church building in Alva and was dedicated in 1936 by Fr. Leo Claus.
St. Cornelius Church in Cherokee was dedicated in 1929.
Our Mother of Mercy in Waynoka was dedicated in the 1940s. The church began its existence outside of the city but the building was later relocated on Main Street.
We are so happy you found us online and hope that if you travel this way you will find yourself in one of our historic churches.
May God bless you in your travels!
