St. Galls Catholic Church Building (1919-1984) | Additional Description:
On fundraising for the new St. Gall church building, per the church's website: In October of 1982, the parish launched a pledge drive which Fr. Corona said passed everyone's expectations. Entertainer Wayne Newton volunteered his services for a fund-raiser benefit dinner in 1983 and the money to begin the church was raised through other parish projects, and sale of property and loans. A ground breaking celebration based on the theme "A Dwelling Place for the Lord" was held on October 23, 1983.
