St. Brigid - San Francisco, CA

"St. Brigid Church is a cultural and architectural landmark in the Marina, Pacific Heights and Russian Hill neighborhoods. St. Brigid’s survived the 1906 earthquake, the great depression, two world wars – and an attempt by San Francisco’s Catholic archdiocese to demolish it. The Committee to Save St. Brigid Church was successful in landmarking the exterior of the building, including the beautiful stained glass windows imported from Ireland."

St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church - Los Angeles, CA

The church was built in the 1920s and designed by architect Albert C. Martin, Sr. Dedicated in 1925, it was located in what was then one of the wealthiest sections of the city, on land adjacent to the Edward Doheny Mansion and Stimson House. It was only the second Roman Catholic church in Los Angeles to be consecrated."
