 The original sanctuary was completed in 1917. Even more amazing is that it was built by one man, Felix Rebom, a Spaniard, and his assistant. Their only tools were a hatchet, a trowel, a plumb line and a T-square. The church is patterned after an old city mission church in Mexico. Eleven years later, in 1928, a 400-year-old, hand carved, solid walnut door was located in a monastery in the Pyrenees mountains and purchased for the entrance to the sanctuary.
