St. Marys Preservation Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the historical significance and architectural beauty of St. Marys Church in Olivia, Minnesota. The church, built in 1914, is a landmark in the community and holds a special place in the hearts of many residents.

The association was formed in 1995 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized the need to preserve the church and its surrounding grounds. Since then, the organization has worked tirelessly to raise funds for restoration and maintenance projects, as well as promoting the church as a community gathering place.

The St. Marys Preservation Association is managed by a board of directors who oversee the organization's finances, fundraising efforts, and restoration projects. They are also responsible for planning events, such as the annual St. Marys Festival, which brings together residents and visitors to celebrate the church's rich history and cultural significance.

In addition to its preservation efforts, the St. Marys Preservation Association is also committed to educating the public about the church's history and the role it has played in the community. The organization offers tours of the church and its grounds, as well as educational programs for schools and community groups.

Overall, the St. Marys Preservation Association is a vital part of the Olivia community and an important steward of the town's rich history and heritage.
