Immaculate Conception Church

The Immaculate Conception Church in Hawesville, Kentucky, was a historic Roman Catholic church building on Water Street. It was built in 1860, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
The Hawesville Immaculate Conception Church is an example of the determination of a small but devout religious group to build and maintain a church. The early people of this church maintained it without the guidance of a permanent priest. They worked until they had constructed a building in which to worship. The building was small and simple but surprisingly monumental, without any striking decoration, except for the traditional stained glass windows and the intrinsic beauty of the stone of which it was constructed. The church building expressed the simple dignity of a people whose religion was the focal point of their community as well as spiritual life.
