St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception

Some of our heritage and interesting facts.

About the Parish
St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception is the only Catholic Church in the Greenville area and is an integral part of this rapidly expanding area of east central Wisconsin.

Our Name
The name of our parish is actually St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception. It refers to Mary’s conception in the womb of Saint Anne, not Jesus! Our church was given the name near the time of the proclamation of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The Holy Church declared the Biblical truth of the Immaculate Conception of Mary to be held definitely by all the faithful in 1854. Our parish received this name a few years later. We are one of the earliest to receive this beautiful name. We are known as Immaculate Conception Parish by the Federal Government and affectionately by those who call us home as “St. Mary’s”.
