St. Mary's Catholic Church
St. Mary's Catholic Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Indianapolis, United States
St. Mary's is a Gothic Revival church in Indianapolis featuring two matching towers flanking a central section with a Virgin Mary statue and Crucifixion relief sculpture. The exterior shows detailed stonework and religious iconography typical of this architectural style.
German Catholic immigrants founded the congregation in 1858, and the current building was constructed and completed in 1912 under architect Hermann J. Gaul's design. The construction reflected the growing strength of the city's German Catholic community during that era.
The stained glass windows showing Saints Boniface and Henry connect this place to German Catholic traditions that shaped the community.
Services are held in both English and Spanish on various days throughout the week. Visitors should check ahead for service times and plan their visit accordingly.
The design draws from the architectural patterns of Cologne Cathedral in Germany, including gargoyles at the entry portal and distinctive Gothic details rarely seen in other Indianapolis churches. This German architectural influence stands out among the city's religious buildings.
