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 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.

God permitting we will begin working in earnest this summer toward the restoration of our mission church. We have acquired new pews, installed them, and have done a few things inside. The goals for this summer will be replacing window panes, stucco painting the outside, cleaning up the grounds and a bit of landscaping. We hope to fix the doors and clean adjoining buildings in order to display our yard sale items at our 3rd annual sale coming up the third Saturday of August. Please keep us in prayer & we appreciate your generosity. We will post pictures of the progress. Thanking you in advance. God reward you. Holman Community at Immaculate Heart of Mary

As we approach the Christmas Season and a time of gift giving. Let us keep in our minds and hearts that the greatest gift given to us was Jesus Christ, whom the Father sent to redeem us. He is the greatest and most perfect of all gifts in heaven and earth. Let us pray that we may be generous with God, who is the ultimate gift giver. We at Immaculate Heart of Mary Restoration Project wish to appeal to you all to give of your hearts this Christmas Season.
