St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church, Convent, Rectory, and School is an historic Roman Catholic church complex at 251 Oxford Street in Providence, Rhode Island within the Diocese of Providence.

Description

The main church building is a large structure of red brick with red sandstone trim, designed by Martin & Hall and built over a 25-year period ending in 1915. The rectory, located east of the church, was designed by Ambrose Murphy and built in 1924-25, and is also faced in red brick. The convent stands west of the church; it is a 3-1/2 story red brick structure also designed by Murphy and built in 1929. Behind the convent stands the school building, which faces Gordon Avenue. It is a two-story red brick building.[3]

The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
