| A
two-story brick house located at 3001 Belmont Boulevard was
purchased from the Noel estate on May 10, 1937. The Rev. Joseph
E. Leppert was assigned to the newly created parish in the spring
of 1937, and he was officially installed as pastor following
the celebration of the first Mass in the temporary chapel at
the residence on July 25, 1937. This brick house served as the
chapel, school, parish house, recreation hall, and community
center until the new school was opened September 3, 1946, with
Sister Sebastian Martin, R.S.M. serving as the first Principal.
With the completion of the new school building, the house was
renovated and used as the residence for the pastor. In January
of 1955, the gymnasium and junior high wings of the school were
opened.
In 1999, a
new Parish Center was erected which included Marian Hall,
the West Wing, and four meeting rooms. The original school
building was renovated and expanded to include a new Kindergarten
room, a new library, a band room, galley kitchen, and science
lab.
