Found it while driving by. Lucky too since it is at a busy corner behind a hot dog stand and surrounded by a sign, plants and people.

More about the church from their website: (visit link)
"For 100 years, St Benedict the Moor, a Capuchin ministry, has affirmed and welcomed a rich variety of persons, especially the disenfranchised. In 1908 St Benedict's primary purpose was establishing a mission to serve the growing number of African Americans living in Milwaukee. Inspired by a Black Catholic layman from Chicago, the Capuchin Franciscan community eventually took responsibility for its growth."

The English says "May Peace be in our Homes and Communities."
