The present Brutalist-style church structure was built 1971 to designs by Paul W. Reilly.[2][1] Colorful chunks of stained glass are set directly into the concrete in the style of the then-contemporary European post-war stained-glass work. Larry Lawton was once an altar boy there.[3]
The abstract style stained glass in the church was designed by Albinas Elksus.[4] Correct spelling is Albinas Elskus. [1926-2007]
