Buildings
[edit]The present church built in the late 1940s. The architect was Edward F. Allodi of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a graduate of the Columbia University School of Architecture. Allodi's Romanesque Revival building is remarkable for its time period as appears as though it could have been built 20 years earlier.[citation needed]
History
[edit]In 2010 the Reverend Robert J. Crofut received the second annual John Swanhaus Award from the Order of Malta in an event hosted by Charles Grodin.[2]
