History & Heritage
The parish was founded in 1920, with the church building constructed around the same time. Over more than a century, the church has been remodeled several times; a major renovation in 1983 added new wiring and lighting while preserving the original columns and woodwork. The stained glass windows are a particular treasure: early 20th-century pieces by a San Francisco designer, a 1958 Saint Christopher window by Carl Huneke (Century Stained Glass Studio, San Francisco), and additional windows created between 1986 and 1990 by Jerry Sinclair of Gothic Art Glass in Napa, who also restored the older windows.
