Saint Mary of the Annunciation Catholic Church in Charleston is the first Roman Catholic parish in the Carolinas and Georgia. It is also the mother church of the dioceses of South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. The current church, the third structure on the site, was built in 1839. The property and the original building were purchased in 1789. A brick church replaced the original structure that burned in the Charleston fire in 1838. The church graveyard, on each side and to the rear of the church, contains names predominantly Irish, French, Spanish and Scot. Notable features include four Doric columns that support a large entablature, stained glass windows imported from Munich, and a painting of the Crucifixion by John S. Cogdell.
