Structure Description
The church demonstrates many traits of the Mid-Century Modern style while retaining much of the traditional form of a Catholic church. An outstanding feature of the church is its tower, 186 feet, and a stainless steel 4500 pound cross made of an I-beam, 46 feet long, 200 feet of which is anchored in the tower and 26 feet exposed.
