St. Mary's Church of the Immaculate Conception Complex is an historic Roman Catholic church complex at 103 Pine Street in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
Description
The complex includes four buildings and a cemetery, set on about 6.5 acres (2.6 ha) of land. It is home to the oldest Catholic parish in Pawtucket, and the second-oldest in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, which encompasses the entire state. The parish was established in 1830; the only surviving element from its early years is the cemetery. The present church, a red brick structure with Gothic Revival styling, was built in 1885-87. Also in the complex is the rectory, a 2-1/2 story Tudor Revival house built in 1909-10, a convent (1895–96), and school (1890–91).[2]
The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
In 2009 the church's school closed, and students were allowed to transfer to the nearby regional school.[3]
