The Church of Saints Joseph and Mary or Sawyer Log Church was built in 1884 by Ojibwe parishioners in Sawyer, Minnesota, United States.[1] It is one of the state's oldest Catholic churches built among the Ojibwe people, one of the oldest churches in northern Minnesota overall, and one of Carlton County's few historic buildings to predate the 1918 Cloquet Fire.[2]
