Platteville, Colorado USA
Roman Catholic
In 1885 missionary priests began saying Mass in Plateville. A simple brick chapel, St Nicholas of Myra Mission Church, was built in 1889, receiving its first resident pastor in 1920. This stucco Spanish-style church was built in 1946. It features a life-sized St Nicholas with children in a niche above the entry. The church has particularly welcomed migrant workers and their children when they are in the area.
