Buildings
The present church built in the late 1940s. The architect was Edward F. Allodi of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a graduate of the Columbia University School of Architecture. Allodi's Romanesque Revival building is remarkable for its time period as appears as though it could have been built 20 years earlier.
History
In 2010 the Reverend Robert J. Crofut received the second annual John Swanhaus Award from the Order of Malta in an event hosted by Charles Grodin.[2]
