St. Mary's Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The brick building features Gothic arches, side chapels, detailed stained glass windows, and a prominent statue of St. Mary at the entrance.
Founded in 1741 by two German Jesuits from Maryland, the current structure represents the third church building, completed in 1854.
The church maintains strong German Catholic traditions, originally known as St. Marien-Kirche among its German-speaking congregation.
The church holds regular Mass services, provides sacraments, pastoral care, and operates a food pantry serving local residents in need.
Italian painter Filippo Costaggini created decorative artworks inside the church during the expansions between 1885 and 1887.
