McCarthy & Associates Architects in a Romanesque cathedral style – constructed of structural steel framing with masonry walls and exterior limestone cladding. The church footprint is about 12,800 sq ft (75 existing pews) plus a full basement with 11 ft ceilings. Soaring ceilings and double level stained glass windows provide an iconic and historical presence. The church has a 130 ft bell tower and is serviced by a 400-amp electrical system. The church basement provides direct interior access into the adjacent school. The school, opened in 1923, is a two-story building also of limestone construction on a concrete foundation with a full basement – approximately 21,200 sq ft plus the basement of nearly 6,000 sq ft. Eight classrooms plus a coatroom on each level. There is a sprinkler system, and all windows have been replaced. Four steam heating systems (radiators) are located in the boiler room of the school basement and heat the entire complex (zoned heating). The school has direct access into the church and provides private access into the former rectory and convent. The rectory (7851 S. Jeffrey Boulevard) is a center-entrance grey limestone property – built in
