Rafael Saiz, SDB }}St. Mary's Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.[1] It was founded on November 10, 1896. The church building was dedicated on November 14, 1897 by Bishop Gregory Montgomery.[2] St. Mary's Church is the fifth oldest parish in Los Angeles,[3] and was the first parish church founded to serve the neighborhood of Boyle Heights.[2] St. Mary's boundaries once included Sacred Heart parish to the north, and Our Lady Queen of the Angels Church, as well as the former Cathedral of Saint Vibiana to the west. St. Mary’s extended eastward to the Puente Hills and southward to the limits of the Wilmington parish.[4] It has been administered since the 1960s by the Salesians of Don Bosco. In the mid-1990s, the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (also known as the Salesian Sisters) began administering St. Mary's School, the third parochial school established in the Diocese of Los Angeles in 1907.[5] Church Art & Architecture1897 ChurchThe first church building was built in 1897 on the corner of Fourth and Chicago Streets in the neighborhood of Boyle Heights. The building seated 400. The architect R.B Young built the church in a Romanesque style. John Hanlon constructed the building and donated the white and gold high altar and side altars.[6] 1926 ChurchIn 1923, the original church was demolished to accommodate growing membership, and a new facility was built in 1926.[2] It was dedicated by Bishop John Joseph Cantwell.[2] The prominent Los Angeles architect Thomas Franklin Power designed the church in a North Italian-Byzantine architectural style: "It seemed to me that the North Italian-Byzantine afforded the best medium of architectural expression; and the style developed has marked beauty."[6] The church's interior and exterior columns feature architectural elements borrowed from prominent Byzantine and Romanesque architectural buildings. Power describes the interior design, saying: "Other motifs taken from the Sta. Sofia at Constantinople, from the Cathedral and St. Apollinaris at Ravenna and from St. Mark's at Venice furnished bits of detail for capitals and panels of various portions."[6] The statue of St. Joseph in the sanctuary is one of the few elements of the original church building that is still in use today. Church Bell and Bell TowerThe original bell from St. Mary's 1896 church building is still in use. The bell tower at St. Mary's was originally 136 feet tall and included a steeple and roman cross. During renovations, the steeple was removed. The tower received damage following the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, resulting in repairs and the closure of the sidewalk. Church EmbellishmentsThe 1926 St. Mary's Church building was embellished by noted Eastside artist Candelario Rivas.[6] Many of the embellishments have been painted over during renovations and post-Vatican II changes to the Sanctuary. Annunciation Sanctuary MuralThe mural depicting the Annunciation of Mary in the church sanctuary was commissioned and painted by ecclesiastical German artist Theodore Brasch.[6] George Yepes Resurrection Mural (1992)In 1992, renowned Chicano muralist George Yepes donated a large, three-panel canvas mural of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ painted with trompe l'oeil elements.[7] The mural features a resurrected Christ where the Church's crucifix currently stands. The mural is painted on three large canvas panels and has a custom wooden, steel, and metal frame on which the canvas is stretched. The mural is occasionally displayed during Easter Vigil services. Visit by Future Pope Pius XII (1936)In October 1936, while on a tour of the United States, Italian Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli accompanied Archbishop Cant-well on a tour of the then-diocese.[8] Along the way, they made a brief stop at St. Mary's Church.[6] Three years later in March 1939, Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli was elected as Pope and took on the name of Pope Pius XII. "St. Mary's could rightfully claim to have been visited by a Pope, even if it was a few years before his election."[6] Current Church BuildingFew elements of the original 1896 Church remain. The statue of St. Joseph in the sanctuary of the Church is original to the 1896 Church. A statue of St. Patrick was donated to the Salesian Parish in Watsonville, California by Father Avelino Lorenzo, SDB, pastor of the Church at various periods of time. Original Pipe OrganThe original pipe organ by Kilgen of St. Louis is still in use and can be seen in the choir loft. 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake DamageIn 1987, the Church was devastated by the Whittier Narrows earthquake, which caused major structural damage and led to the current remodel.[9] Fr. Avelino Lorenzo, SDB, then-pastor of the parish, led an effort to repair and reinforce the church building, raising nearly $770,000 in repair funds.[2] 1994 North ridge Earthquake DamageIn 1994, the Church was once again closed due to the Northridge earthquake, which caused only cosmetic damage to the outside walls and inside artwork.[10] Pastor Fr. Avelino Lorenzo, SDB led the effort to restore much of the plaster-work of the Church.[10] The work was completed by United Staff and Stone Co. of Los Angeles.[10] Church Appearances in MoviesBlood In Blood Out (1993) Shot (2017)Pastors that have served St. Mary's Catholic Church
