The founding pastor, Father Michael McCabe, resolved that a permanent Church would not be built until a suitable school had been erected for the education of the children of the parish.

"[1] The church's "crowning glory"[2] is its stained-glass windows portraying scenes from the Bible and the lives of the Saints.

The glass was designed by the firm of Earl Edward Sanborn of Boston, Massachusetts.

[citation needed] In 2019, several of these historic windows were damaged by vandals throwing rocks.

[3] The church also offers service, education, and outreach programs for multiple age groups.
