The Immaculate Conception Church of North Easton had its beginning prior to the 1830’s. The first services were held in private homes. In 1851 the Ames family donated land on Pond Street and paid for the construction of a chapel that provided a place of worship for about one hundred Irish Catholic workers. Today the site of St. Mary’s Chapel is marked with a boulder and plaque. In 1856, with the increase of the Roman Catholic population Rev. T. B. McNulty put an addition on the chapel, and established the Roman Catholic Cemetery. In 1864 he bought a lot on Main Street and began the construction of the church, which was finished and occupied in 1865. The Irish population continued to grow and so did the church. In October, 1949, a fire destroyed St. Mary’s Hall, which was the parish center after the current church was finished in 1904. In 1857 Fr. Thomas B. McNulty purchased land for a cemetery on Canton Street. There is a crucifix between the oldest and newest sections of the cemetery. In January, 1871, Rev. Francis A. Quinn became the first parish priest of Easton. He purchased the homestead of Elbridge G. Morse which was remodeled and became the rectory. Under the direction of Father James Lobby the present stone church was begun in 1902 and completed two years later. It is a Gothic design with granite foundation. The interior is of oak. The beams, ribs, pews and paneling of the nave are constructed from sturdy wood. The main altar is of white Italian marble. Above the rear wall of the sanctuary is a reproduction of Murillo’s, Immaculate Conception. This was a gift from Rosella O’Berirne, a parish member. The rear of the church has a huge stained-glass window of St. Michael the Archangel. This was a gift from the Unitarian Church. The Parish Hall was completed in 1962 and dedicated in 1971 in Fr. John Casey’s honor. A bronze plaque designates it: “Rev. John J. Casey Memorial” Parish Center It has a gymnasium, kitchen facility, classrooms, and a daily Mass chapel. It is a place for parish meetings, socials, religious education, faith formation programs, sporting events, and parish entertainment.
