A historic Jesuit church in St. Marys will be demolished tomorrow to make way for construction of a brand new church at the same site. Historic Immaculata Church on the grounds of Saint Mary's Academy and College will be removed on Monday as the first phase in the project to build a new Immaculata. It will take about a month to complete the first phase of demolition and site preparation, and will cost between $10-$12 million dollars.The new church will be built in the exact same place as the old one; right in the heart of campus. The new Immaculata will be approximately 45,000 square feet, will seat about 1,300 people and will be built in the traditional gothic style. When it's complete, it will be one of the largest churches of this style built in the U.S. in the last few decades.Tuesday, July 7, 2009

It is a shame they are taking down such a historic church. I have been there it is truly beautiful. I am sure the new church will be amazing though, it sure sounds like it will be!
