In continuing our tour of some of the beautiful architecture in Stockton, today we focus on the first Roman Catholic church in San Joaquin Valley, Saint Mary’s Church. Built on land first donated by Captain Charles Weber, Saint Mary’s Church is an example of a brick Gothic design. The first cornerstone was dedicated in 1861 with the Gothic spire added in 1893. Saint Mary’s Church is a gorgeous example of Stockton’s rich architectural and religious history as well as the home of a thriving parish today.
