  1. I grew up in and was married in this parish.  It wasn't until later that I learned the story. A church was planned for Capital Hill and it was going to be the more traditional Gothic style.  Then the stock market crashed so the diocese had to go back to the architect to ask him to design a church that could be built for half the money.  His new design was in the simpler Art Deco style.  What a piece of luck!  It's is marvelous.
