==Early parish history==
Immaculate Conception parish was organized in 1865 among a population of twenty-eight poor German immigrant families.〔''History of Shelby County, Ohio With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers''. Philadelphia: R. Sutton, 1883, 220.〕 A few Catholic families had settled in the vicinity of the village many years before, but their poverty had prevented them from supporting a pastor; accordingly, Mass was celebrated only occasionally by travelling priests. For many years, they worshipped in private homes or in a former schoolhouse, although a log church was built by the early 1860s. Soon after the creation of the parish, the members began to take measures to replace their church, and a new brick building was completed in 1867. Erected at a cost of approximately $8,000, this structure measured by , and it was crowned by a respectable steeple.〔Hitchcock, A.B.C. ''History of Shelby County, Ohio and Representative Citizens''. Chicago: Richmond-Arnold, 1913, 346-347.〕 As the years passed, the parish grew; by 1883, its membership was eighty-two families.〔 Increased membership permitted improvements to the church: it was remodelled and embellished by painter F.H. Hefele in 1898, and ornate stained glass windows were installed in 1899.〔 From the parish's earliest years, it possessed a cemetery: a small plot north of Botkins was used for a time, and it was soon replaced by a more suitable location on the village's northern edge.〔(Cemeteries ), Botkins, 2010.
