 Due to growth, a new, larger church was constructed in the late 1920s. Designed by architect Raphael Hume, the present Romanesque Byzantine structure was joyously dedicated by Bishop Thomas J. Walsh on June 2, 1929.<ref>Parish historical narrative.</ref> The design features eight Corinthian marble columns at the entrance, an octagonal dome, a soaring apse, and impressive interior elements.
