St. Mary's Church
St. Mary's Church in Lillehammer is the parish church of St. Mary's Church Catholic parish in Lillehammer. The parish includes northern Oppland and Ringsaker municipalities in Hedmark. The church is located at Suttestad, an area south of Lillehammer city center.
The church was built in 1970 according to drawings by architect Carl Corwin. The parish was established the same year, after having been a separate chapel district since 1956. It was not until the church's 40th anniversary in 2010 that the church was consecrated by Bishop Bernt Eidsvig. Then the altar was consecrated with the lowering of relics, and the church was anointed and the consecration crosses were put in place.
St. Mary's Church is located just before Sportsplassen in Lillehammer.
