The parish maintains an active digital presence through its website to coordinate community activities and pastoral services.
The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Šiauliai is a modern Catholic parish church serving the southern residential district of the city. Construction of the current building, designed with contemporary liturgical spatial concepts, was completed in the early 2000s to meet the needs of the growing Gegužių neighborhood. The interior emphasizes a clean, minimalist aesthetic that focuses on natural light and functional sacred space. It serves as an active religious community hub rather than a historic tourist monument. The parish actively participates in regional social and spiritual initiatives.
