About the Church
The Roman Catholic Church of Mazsalaca stands in the town of Mazsalaca, in northern Vidzeme, on the Salaca river, near the border with Estonia. The area is known for the picturesque Skaņaiskalns Nature Park and the sandstone outcrops in the Salaca valley.
The local Catholic parish belongs to the Archdiocese of Riga and serves the faithful of the town and surrounding villages. In this predominantly Lutheran region, the Catholic community is small, but the church remains an important centre of faith for it.
