St Mary Star of the Sea Church was built in 1926 – almost 90 years ago – in Jackson, Michigan. It combines many different architectural styles, such as Revival Architecture and Romanesque Architecture. Actually before being built, the pastor and church trustees traveled to Europe, viewing some of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world as an inspiration.

The facility contains a 125 year old Roosevelt pipe organ designed and built by the cousin of President Franklin Roosevelt. All of the stained glass windows, stations of the cross, and mosaic "Our Lady Star of the Sea" were purchased after World War I from Tyrolese Art Glass Company in Innsbruck, Austria for $22,000. In 1961, the windows were appraised for $150,000 and Stations of the Cross were appraised at $16,000 at that time. So one can only imagine how much they are worth in present day. Along with the organ and the windows there a countless other valuable things throughout the church.
