Marker Text: In 1926, at the request of the city's Italian Catholics, diocesan officials invited the Rev. Saverio Vecchio to preach a mission as a result, the congregation of San Francesco Di Paola was organized. Designed by Richard Vander Stratten and built by Luigi L. Guido and Vincenzo Palbo, this Romanesque structure with decorative stone detailing, round-arched stained glass windows and spire was dedicated on May 1 , 1927, by arch-bishop A.J. Drossaerts. (1991)
