Saint Andrew Church, located on the corner of West Seventh and Raspberry Streets in Erie, Pennsylvania, was built in 1915. The parish was founded in 1871 and the original church building was destroyed by fire in 1896. A new building was begun, but never finished. The present church was constructed in 1915. Its red sandstone exterior, along with its two prominent towers make the church a prominent landmark on the west side of the city of Erie.
John Mark Gannon, who would later go on to become the Bishop of Erie, was the parish's fourth pastor. Saint Andrew school was opened in 1929 and the church had extensive decorations added in 1941. Today, the church is joined with Saint Paul and Scared Heart Parishes, and shares a pastor.
