St. Cecilia's Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish in the Our Lady of the Angels Pastoral Region of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The church is located at 4230 South Normandie Avenue in the South Los Angeles section of Los Angeles, California USA. The Lombard Romanesque church was built in 1927. ==Early history== St. Cecilia's was established as a new parish serving southern Los Angeles in 1909. The original parish church, located on Normandie Avenue between 42nd and 43rd Streets, was dedicated in August 1910. The first pastor of St. Cecilia's was the Rev. Paul Dillon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=St. Cecilia's Church )〕 In December 1919, Reverend Edward H. Brady took over as the pastor at St. Cecilia's. During the 1920s, Father Brady led the effort to construct a new church to house the parish. Plans for the new church were approved in March 1926, and the cost was estimated at approximately $225,000.〔 The new church was dedicated in November 1927 with Bishop John Joseph Cantwell celebrating the dedication Mass. In May 1943, St. Cecilia's was consecrated by Bishop Joseph T. McGucken, making it only the third church in Los Angeles to be consecrated. (The Cathedral of Saint Vibiana and St. Vincent being the first two.) Relics from the tomb of Saint Cecilia in Rome were sealed in a niche of the altar during the ceremony. In January 1953, Father Brady died of a heart attack at the St. Cecilia's rectory. At the time of his death, he had served as the pastor at St. Cecilia's for 34 years. In March 1953, Monsignor Patrick J. Dignan became the third pastor of St. Cecilia's.〔 In January 1954, St. Cecilia's dedicated a new convent at the parish.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Cecilia Catholic Church (Los Angeles)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
