What a great historical building; a nice display piece for Rocklin. I ran sound at a vow renewal here recently and was really pleased with the facility. Also, the volunteers were knowledgeable and really accommodating. The event went well.

Chapel History

Old St. Mary’s Chapel was built in 1883 as St. Mary’s of the Assumption Catholic Church. It served as a Catholic church for 100 years till the congregation out grew it. Various religious organizations used it for services until 2004 when it was slated for demolition. The Rocklin Historical Society took possession in 2005 and moved it down Front Street to its new location. Dedicated volunteers then went to work to transform Rocklin’s oldest building into the beautiful chapel you see today. Our first wedding was held in 2007 and now Old St. Mary’s has become the site of many beautiful ceremonies.

Restoring the chapel also included rebuilding the steeple to its original look. In 1937, the steeple succumbed to woodpeckers and foul weather and thieves took the original bell. Today’s bell is on loan from Rocklin’s Community Covenant Church. At Old St. Mary’s there is now a tradition that once a couple is married they walk back down the aisle and stop to ring the bell, starting their new life together.
