Immaculate Conception Church and School

Immaculate Conception Church is a Catholic building with Romanesque architectural style located on South 24th Street, with a former school building directly next to it. The complex also includes a recreation center that serves community events and gatherings.

The building was completed in 1912 and enlarged in 1926 to meet the growing needs of the congregation. In 1998 the complex received national recognition for its architectural importance.

The parish was founded by Polish Catholic immigrants and continues to shape the neighborhood's identity. Visitors notice how the community remains dedicated to traditional religious practices and Latin Mass services.

The church building is typically open to visitors who wish to view the architecture or attend services. The recreation center regularly hosts community activities and events, making it easy to experience what the complex offers.

The recreation center houses one of the few operating bowling alleys still owned and run by a church in the country. This unusual feature shows how the complex brings the community together beyond religious services.
