Additional Description: This is the oldest church building in Simi Valley. It served the local Catholic congregation beginning about 1910, when priests came over from Oxnard to conduct services. It became a parish in 1922, and was used until the congregation moved into new facilities on Royal Avenue in 1963. Towards the last of those years, it was so crowded that people were standing outside on the sidewalk with a p.a. system.
The building was moved to Strathearn Historical Park in 2002.
