Description

St. Vincent Catholic Church near downtown Los Angeles. I find the entrance very beautiful and ornate. While the door was opened I was able to capture the light from the exit door. The church was built in the 1920s and designed by architect Albert C. Martin, Sr. Paid for by local oilman Edward J. Doheny and thus is known colloquially as "the Church of Holy Oils." It was dedicated in 1925,
St. Vincent de Paul (24 April 1581 – 27 September 1660) was a French Roman Catholic priest who dedicated himself to serving the poor. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion, yet I find it ironic it was located in what was then one of the wealthiest sections of the city, on land adjacent to the Stephen Dorsey mansion and Stimson House. It was the second Roman Catholic church in Los Angeles to be consecrated. Using the split color effect.
