Nestled in the small Fransaskois hamlet of Ferland stands the Église de Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste, the Roman Catholic parish church for the local francophone community. It was built in 1946 and opened in 1947. Officially part of the Archdiocese of Regina, this church remains a beacon of faith and cultural pride for residents who value their heritage.
More than a place of worship, Église de Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste embodies the cultural bedrock of Ferland’s Fransaskois identity. The hamlet's heritage was formally acknowledged in 2012 when the Saskatchewan government installed a permanent Fransaskois flag.
The parish continues to stand as a gathering place not just for prayer, but for cultural affirmation and communal connection in a quiet corner of Saskatchewan.
