Box 11 Norman Wells, NT X0E 0V0

St. Anthony Catholic Church is a small but vital Roman Catholic parish serving the local community in the remote town of Norman Wells in the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories. It belongs to the Diocese of Mackenzie–Fort Smith and provides regular Catholic worship services, religious education, and spiritual support to residents of Norman Wells and surrounding areas.

Because of the town’s small population and the practical challenges of life in the North, St. Anthony shares its worship space with its Anglican neighbours as a sign of ecumenical cooperation and community solidarity. In this unique arrangement, a single building is divided so that one side is used by the Roman Catholic congregation and the other by the Anglican congregation, allowing both faith communities to worship and gather in the same structure while maintaining their distinct traditions.
