From St Sebastian's website:
"As the Washington Heights area was booming with new home construction in the 1920’s, St. Sebastian Church was right in the middle of it – the parish booming along with the neighborhood. From humble beginnings in 1911 of 15 families and a few acres of underdeveloped prairie, St. Sebastian parish grew dramatically over the next 20 years. With the new church building completed in 1930, parish membership was 1,000 families and school enrollment over 650 children. St. Sebastian became one of the largest parishes in the archdiocese. With the beautiful church on the hill, its tower visible for miles around and exquisite workmanship throughout – the people of St. Sebastian were proud and thankful. The phenomenal growth and status of the parish continued unabated for decades".
