Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, 310 W Spring St, Somerton, AZ 85350, US

HistoryBy 1913, the first belfry of St. Mary Parish was raised at 5th and Orange Avenues. The church tower rose sixty-four feet. Its blue dome crowned with a gold cross, beckoned members and visitors to congregate within for spiritual refreshment and worship. After an earthquake in 1940, the church was rebuilt to accommodate 275 people in one Mass. The parish was dedicated on March 16, 1947. In 1954, the parish purchased 12 acres at the site of Heil and Waterman Avenues and built St. Mary's School and convent; relying greatly upon the efforts of the parish's families. In 1968, plans for a parish building program evolved to match the growing needs of the community. Many of the same families who helped in the rebuilding campaign were once again actively involved in the building fund to construct St. Mary Parish at Heil and La Brucherie. St. Mary Parish on Heil Avenue was dedicated in 1989 to accommodate 750 people. Its blue dome continues to welcome all to the celebration of the Mass.SpecialtiesMass Schedule: Saturday Vigil 5:30 pm Sunday 8:00 am, 10:00 am; 12:00 pm (Spanish) Weekday Mass Schedule: Tuesday 5:30 pm Wednesday and Thursday 7:00 am Friday 8:30 am Confessions are every Saturday from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm and every First Friday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
