The present modest furnishings of the church comprise two wooden altars with historicizing forms. In the main altar there are figures of the patroness, Mary Immaculately Conceived, and saints. The side altar holds a copy of the icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, and was originally dedicated to St. Joseph. It is known that in 1907 there was also an altar of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Some of the original furnishings of the church are still stored in the church and presbytery. The purchase of new marble furnishings was planned for the 50th anniversary in 1932; however, the Great Depression thwarted these plans.
