Immaculate Conception

About Immaculate Conception Church

The beginning of Immaculate Conception parish was in 1864 when Precious Blood Father Bernard Dickman began offering Mass in Celina. The first church was built in 3 months  and dedicated on December 8, 1865. A school building was soon added and then over time with the growing number of families, a new church building was needed to meet the needs of this growing parish. Work on the new Romanesque church began in 1900 and was dedicated on June 9, 1903 when it was completed. The new building consisted of large glass-stained windows, beautiful drawings throughout the interior walls and ceiling, and gorgeous shrines, one at the main altar with smaller ones on each side. The church was renovated in 2003 and remains as a dominating scene in Celina. In 1908, a large brick rectory was completed at the corner of Anthony and Sugar streets just behind the church and currently serves as the business office for our Family of Parishes.

Precious Blood priests served Immaculate Conception from 1865 until July 2022. Immaculate Conception remains an active parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati with 1200 registered families. On July 1, 2022, Immaculate Conception along with Holy Rosary(St. Marys), St. Patrick(Glynnwood), St. Teresa(Rockford), and Our Lady of Guadalupe(Montezuma) joined to form St. Isidore the Farmer, Family of Parishes. Our Family of Parishes is led by Pastor Father Rob Muhlenkamp and Parochial Vicars Father Prashanth Bandanadham and Father Adam Berning.
