History
With the oil boom in the Drayton Valley area in the 1950s plans to develop a Catholic Parish in Evansburg began. In 1962 Entwistle parish was transferred to Evansburg. A new church was built on land donated by Leonard M. Corkey and the church was blessed and dedicated to St. Elizabeth of Hungary by Coadjutor Archbishop Anthony on March 18, 1964. Today the parish is served from Drayton Valley.
