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).
The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
In 2009 the church's school closed, and students were allowed to transfer to the nearby regional school.
