 ChurchThe church, originally built as a mission chapel in 1905, was expanded and renovated in 1916, 1926, and 1960. The buttresses at the sides of the nave were added in the 1940's to keep the church from swaying in strong winds.
|  InteriorThe interior of the church was extensively redecorated during the pastorate of the Rev. Thomas L. Rita. The dominant color, blue, is in honor of our Lady (blue is traditionally associated with her). |  Our Lady of WalsinghamThe statue of Our Lady of Walsingham, with two adoring angels, sits over the front doors of the church. It was originally over the high altar, being moved here in 1968. |

 IHSThe letters IHS, seen in various locations throughout this church and many others, is actually a monogram of the Holy Name of Jesus, being the first three letters of His name in Greek (IHSUS). |  SymbolsThis image, seen here on one of the benches in the sanctuary, is also Greek, being the first two letters of Christ in that language (XPISTOS). On either side are the Greek letters alpha (A) and Omega (W), the first and last letters of that alphabet (cf. Rev. 21:6). |  St. Pius XThis image is found on the tabernacle door in the shrine of St. Pius X; it shows the Crucifixion. Behind the cross are seen the sponge on a stick that was raised to Christ (cf. Jn. 19:29-30), and the spear with which the soldier opened the side of Christ (cf. Jn 19:33-34). |
