It was built in 1858 and is a brick church building trimmed in limestone and measuring about 100 feet long and 60 feet wide. The front facade features three brick towers; two corner ones are set diagonally, with onion-shaped domes topped with crosses and the center square tower (built 1881), now used as a belfry, has arched louvred openings. The dome on the center tower replaced an original wooden belfry and smaller dome destroyed by fire in March 1966. A parochial Catholic school, St. Mary's, was built on the adjacent property in 1866. St. Mary's is the only church in Delaware associated with Saint John Neumann, Bishop of Philadelphia 1852-1860, who consecrated it in 1858. The church and school were the principal institution for the education and integration of thousands of Irish immigrants in Wilmington, most of whom lived in the parish upon first arriving.[2] The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1] HistorySt. Mary's was established in 1858. As Wilmington was, at that time, part of the Diocese of Philadelphia, the church was consecrated by Bishop John Nepomucene Neumann CSsR. Father Patrick Reilly (later Monsignor) was the first pastor. St. Mary's became part of the Diocese of Wilmington in 1868. Bishop Neumann was beatified during the Second Vatican Council on October 13, 1963, and was canonized on June 19, 1977 by Pope Paul VI.[3] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2009a}} {{Roman Catholic Diocese of Wilmington}}{{National Register of Historic Places in Delaware}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception Church, Wilmington, Delaware}}{{Delaware-NRHP-stub}}{{Delaware-church-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=76000580}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Church|author=Donn Devine|date=May 1976}} and {{NRHP url|id=76000580|title=Accompanying four photos|photos=y}} 3. ^"About Us", St. Mary's and St. Patrick's, Wilmington, Delaware 8 : Irish-American culture in Delaware|Churches in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wilmington|Roman Catholic churches completed in 1858|19th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in the United States|Roman Catholic churches in Wilmington, Delaware|Roman Catholic churches on the National Register of Historic Places in Delaware|National Register of Historic Places in Wilmington, Delaware|1858 establishments in Delaware |
