The Church is remarkable for its excellent proportions— always the essential element in the Greek school. The impression is given of dignity combined with elaborate space. At first glance, the building seems greater than it actually is. This is indeed the key to the beauty of the Parthenon in Rome, the perfect example of Grecian style in proportion and grace.
The Church carries more than a little of the distinguishing features of the ancient masterpieces of Grecian genius. The whole Church, finally completed in 1926, cost $50,000 to construct.
The High Altar is a beautiful example of Italian art. Carrarra marble is used throughout, and the High Altar was erected to commemorate the first centennial of the parish in 1945;
The medallion on the front of the altar is of the Pelican. The pelican has long been considered as a symbol of Redemption and of the Eucharist. According to legend, the mother pelican offers her own life and even her lifeblood to save her young. This is certainly what Jesus did for all of us.
