Architecture
The church was built in 1946 in Romanesque Gothic style and designed by the architectural firm of Henry Dagit & Sons of Philadelphia and constructed by the firm of McCloskey & Co., also of Philadelphia. It is built of reinforced concrete and faced with Indiana Bedford limestone with an exposed concrete ceiling and stenciled color decorations on the exposed beams and arches. The floors are of terrazzo and the main altar and two side altars have marble facing. The cornerstone was laid on May 3, 1946, and the church was completed by September 1946.[4][5] The interior design of the church was modified to conform to the Byzantine Rite. An iconostasis was added as well as Byzantine Icons.[6]
