Sunday's Immaculate Conception Church 10-02-16

Hello and happy Sunday.  Welcome to the Immaculate Conception Church in Salem, Massachusetts.  The church,  originally named St. Mary's, was established in 1826 in a wooden structure.   The name was changed to Immaculate Conception Church in 1850 when it moved to a new brick and stone building.  The church  that you see now was built in 1857.  It is a beautiful structure inside and out.  I'm sure if I were catholic and lived in Salem, Massachusetts I would enjoy attending once in a while.  :)

I hope you had a wonderful Sunday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
