2826 Bank Road
St. John Vianney Parish
2826 Bank Road is a large Kamloops church at the intersection of Bank Road and Clements Court. It's located opposite to Westsyde Fellowship Church on Westsyde Road.
The building was constructed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kamloops for the St John Vianney Parish. Ground was broken for the first phase of the building in 1980, with construction being completed in April of 1981. The congregation was able to move in and dedicate the building on Easter that year.
Phase 1 included a gym, Friendship Room, classrooms, and a kitchen.
In 1991, ground was broken for a second phase of the building. Construction was completed later that year.
Currently the St John Vianney Parish still meets here.
