St. Mary's Catholic Church
St. Mary's Catholic Church, Catholic church in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas.
St. Mary's Catholic Church features a dusky rose-painted brick exterior, elaborate stained glass windows, and brass hanging lamps designed by Charles Eames.
The first Catholic church in Helena, established by Lazarist missionaries, was destroyed in 1854 and replaced with a wood-frame structure in 1856.
The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth established Sacred Heart Academy at St. Mary's in 1857, operating an educational institution until its closure in 1968.
Located at 123 Columbia Street, the church continues to serve the Catholic community within the North Delta deanery of the Diocese of Little Rock.
The church's architectural design by Charles Eames received recognition in Architectural Forum, leading to his fellowship at Cranbrook Academy of Art.
