It was built in 1917 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
The two statues of angels that hold holy water at the entrance of the church were found discarded and in bad repair in the attic of the old rectory. Mr. Gene Mikulik painstakingly restored them. Now they proudly stand welcoming visitors from around the world.
