St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Church, also known as St. Mary's of Morges (/ˈmɔːrdʒɛz/ MOR-jez)[2]) is a Roman Catholic church located in the unincorporated community of Morges[2] in Rose Township, Carroll County, Ohio, United States.[3] A part of the Diocese of Steubenville, it was founded in 1834 and re-established in 1948; its current building was built in 1851 and renovated in 1979.[1][2] The altar was crafted in Europe and shipped to the parish late in the 19th century. The stained-glass windows were donated by parishioners in the early 1900s. The 1979 restoration involved refinishing the altar, repainting statuary and walls, and installation of new pews.[4]

The church is built of brick with a stone foundation.[5] The bricks were manufactured on premises.[6] In 1977, the church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance,[1] along with a related house on the same property.[5]
