This parish in South Chester was formed in 1873. In July of that year, the Reverend John B. Kelly was appointed pastor there. As he died a few days later, the founding pastor was really the Reverend Thomas J. McGlynn. Father McGlynn had been curate at Saint Michael's for three and a half years. He at once built a chapel of wood at Second and Broomall Streets to serve as a temporary place of worship while the larger red brick Gothic church was being built. This chapel was destroyed by fire on February 23, 1876. From that date until October 1, 1876 the parishioners returned for divine worship to Saint Michael's Church. Death ended Father McGlynn's long pastorate in 1902 and he was buried in the churchyard, the sole burial here. The Immaculate Heart of Mary parish was disestablished in 1993.

This churchyard should not be confused with the Immaculate Heart of Mary Cemetery in Linwood.
