The parish opened a parochial grammar school in 1915 on Western Avenue, which still operates at that location.In 1927, the parish built the large brownstone Gothic church that has been used by the parish for more than 80 years.At the time of the new church's dedication in January 1928, the Los Angeles Times noted that the "beautiful" new church had cost $400,000, and reported: "The new building is in the old English Gothic style and is considered one of the handsomest structures of its kind in California."Designed by architect Emmett Martin, the church has been called "one of the archdiocese's architectural gems."
