The church is located at 4230 South Normandie Avenue in the South Los Angeles section of Los Angeles, California USA. The Lombard Romanesque church was built in 1927.
context_section_description: The current Lombard Romanesque church building was built in 1927. It was designed by architect Ross Montgomery. The church is constructed of reinforced concrete with a high altar made of carved French Caen stone.  In July 1927, as the structure was being built, the Los Angeles Times reported:
  The structure represents a new departure in church architecture, as the style employed by the architect has not been utilized to any extent in Los Angeles or local communities.  The design is Lombard Romanesque, a style developed in Italy during the 11th century.
  The church was built with a seating capacity of 1,000.
