The Catholic Church in Cecil, Ohio began a Station of Defiance in 1874. In 1875, the parish became a Station of Antwerp. In 1879, the parish built a church and its status changed from Station to Mission. The church was dedicated and named Immaculate Conception. In 1915, Immaculate Conception became a Mission of Delaware Bend.
In 1918, Immaculate Conception received their first resident priest, Father Peiffer. The church was assigned resident pastors until 1976, when the parish became a Mission of Paulding. In 1992, the parish was reassigned a resident pastor, again. In 1996, they became a sister parish of St. Mary Catholic Church.
