The largest and newest of the two churches is the Immaculata church, Saint Marys, Kansas, which is under the jurisdiction of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), a traditionalist Catholic association which is in a canonically irregular relationship with the Holy See.[14] The Immaculata was consecrated in a ceremony on May 3, 2023 by Bishop Bernard Fellay, as the final step of a plan written forty-five years prior to the dedication.
