History

In 1878, Father Anthony Jaworski, a Polish priest from the Holy Ghost Fathers came to Marche. He led the efforts to establish a parish and build the first church. The first structure was a small wooden chapel built on a large hill. The new parish was named the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the hill was named Jasna Gora or "Blue Hill" after the shrine in Poland. In 1896, a larger church was built and served the parish until it was destroyed by fire. It was replaced by the current church building in 1932.

The current church building is a Gothic Revival structure, built out of brick on a stone foundation. It was designed by the noted Arkansas architect Charles L. Thompson, and was completed in 1932.^[2]

The church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.^[1]
