Venue Information

Among the largest and most distinguished buildings in the Western section of Boston, the imposing Romanesque Revival church dominates the traffic circle where it is located and provides an interesting contrast to the Gothic St. Teresa Roman Catholic Church, a mile down Centre Street.

The parish was founded in 1927 under the leadership of Fr. William P. McNamara, the first pastor. Plans for a new large church of Romanesque Revival style were acquired in 1929 and building began. Although the basement church was ready for Midnight Mass in 1929 work on the superstructure progressed more slowly and the church was not completed until 1939.
