Parte 2 - Expansion of St. Lawrence’s Parish in Watts, Los Angeles

1 p.; clipping

Clippings from ‘The Tidings’ detailing the expansion of St. Lawrence’s Parish in Watts following its assignment to the Irish Capuchin Franciscan friars. The articles focus on the ambitious architectural plans for a new parish group and a major fundraising bazaar. The parish has announced plans for a complete group of buildings, including a school, convent, church, and rectory. The architecture was designed to reflect the ‘mission style’ of early California, influenced by Italian and Spanish Romanesque basilicas.
