St. Mary's History

Why & How Started:  In the spring of 1855, a group of Irish immigrants settled in the town of Pleasant Valley and established what was to be known as the Hawkins settlement. These immigrants brought with them a deep faith and loyalty to the Catholic church.

Joining St. Mary's Immaculate Conception Catholic Church is a great way to grow your faith in God and become part of the Hammond area community. We spoke with many of the parish members about why they decided to join the church and continue to celebrate Mass with the community each week.

Come Journey With Us - There are many benefits to joining a local church. Some are internal and some external. You will need to consider mass times, location and small versus large churches. We ask you attend at least 4 services to get a good taste of the Mass and Parish family. Call the office to set up a time to meet with Father Jerry or one of the staff to find out more about what St. Mary's has to offer. For Example: Faith Formation Classes, RCIA and Scripture Study, etc.
