History
editThe parish was founded in 1906.[2] It has served many different parishioners: oilmen and railway workers, film industry figures, post-World War II families, gay men, etc.[2] From 1992 to 1994, Archbishop George Hugh Niederauer lived in the church.[3] The funeral for John Edward 'Jack' Reagan, father of President Ronald Reagan, was held at this church.[4]
The adjacent St Victor's school closed in the 1970s and its building is leased to a private, non-sectarian school, the Pacific Hills School.[2]
