The architectural styles from Renaissance Revival to Mid- <br />century Modern correspond to the entirety of this period, reflecting the evolving economic status <br />of the parish and new approaches to religious design. The significant dates are 1911, when the <br />first church school was dedicated, 1926 for the completion of the church, and 1963 for the <br />Felician convent.
