The Franciscan Mission Concepción (Misión Nuestra Señora de la Purisima Concepción de Acuña) was one of five baroque mission churches and defense complexes the Spaniards built in the early 18th century to defend the Northern boundary of the Spanish colonial empire against French incursions. The five fortified Franciscan mission churches were built along the San Antonio River about three miles apart.

Construction of the Mission Concepción began in 1731, and the church was dedicated in 1755. The church is a fine example of Spanish Baroque colonial architecture. In its heyday, colorful geometric designs covered its surface inside and out. The exterior patterns have long since faded or been worn away, but some interior frescoes remain. The Mission Concepción is the least restored of the five San Antonio mission churches.

It is situated within 200 yards of St. David's Protestant Church, Haigh, and is on the very confines of the Diocese of Salford, being within 100 yards of the boundary line which divides the R. C. Dioceses of Liverpool and Salford. The Mission was founded at Blackrod about the year 1852 or 1853 by the late Very Rev. Canon Carter, of Bolton. A year or so after its foundation Father H. Jones was appointed, and he fixed on the present site of the Church as being most central and likely to serve the greatest population. Father Jones built the Church Presbytery and a small School, and the Church was opened about the year 1858.

The church does not have a graveyard. The Catholics have been buried in the churchyard of St David, and there is a now a RC section of the new part of that graveyard.
