Donate now on GoFundMe! Immaculate Heart of Mary church was built in the late 1940’s on the same site as the original church, San Isidro (St. Isidore). The name was later changed to Immaculate Heart of Mary. Immaculate Heart of Mary Church prior to the mid 1960’s was a parish in its own right, serving the villages of Chacon, upper and lower Holman, Tramperos, and Cleveland. In 1958, Father James Flanagan became the pastor. He and Father John McHugh, who was then the pastor of Saint Gertrudes in Mora, founded a religious order of sisters named after the patroness of the church. Immaculate Heart of Mary sisters later became the S.O.L.T sisters (Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity). The order now consists of priests, brothers, and lay members. Immaculate Heart of Mary became the birthplace of the S.O.L.T order. The order now serves in over one hundred countries worldwide. The founders are both buried on the grounds near the church.
