Located in Northern Allegan County, Michigan, St.
Mary’s Visitation Church is perched majestically
upon a hill. It is surrounded, as it has been for almost
100 years, by rolling farmland and a rural personality.
More than a century ago, the New Salem area was
settled by German immigrant farmers who
established St. Mary’s Church in 1866.

St. Mary's Visitation Parish
In 1908 using volunteer labor and making the
blocksone-by-one on site, they laid the cornerstone of the
present-day building.
In 1981,St. Mary’s merged with Visitation Church of North Dorr, about 2 miles northeast, and became St. Mary’s Visitation (SMV).
In 1989, a long-awaited dream was realized with the completion of a seven-classroom school. Offering preschool through 6th grade, SMV is an accredited school and works closely with Hopkins Public School district to ensure that the children receive a well-rounded education.
In addition to formal education, SMV is committed to enriching the faith of both children and adults through our CCD, Youth Group & RCIA programs, and also our Sunday bible studies.
Our beautiful church was renovated in 2003 inside and out and air- conditioning was added. We have also improved our handicap access.
