This is Our Lady Help of Christians, Slovenian, a Catholic church located downtown that was built by the Slovenian community in 1954. It has such lovely proportions and I really like that spire that seems so 50s-like in style. Sorry about all the wires but they are everywhere!

I like the use of bricks to create an accent in the facade. Very simple building but nice.
The local catholic church to me is a 1940's conversion, only the front is original and dates back to the 1700's
It is a lovely church Pat, I came across a really pretty one today also. The wires look very familiar :)
i like it! simple, but uniquely designed.
I do love the simplicity of its design.
It is quite attractive this style of architecture. I do like the art above the door and the mosaic arrangement of the window squares.
'Tis a beautiful building and so typical of many churches of that era - of various demoninations ... especially those central steps to the entry.
I'm very surprised that I actually like something built during that decade!
Simple and solid looking!
Very welcoming shot

It does have a 1950's look to it! I didn't even notice the wires until you said something. I guess I'm so used to seeing them.
I really like this church tank you for the little history.
I think that sometimes wires in the photos make beaty like this.
Greetings.
The architecture is typically European one
I like the different bricks of the facade...
I really like the look of it, and it does feel of that era.
I like the style too and, like Ciel, I'm quite surprised to like anything from the 50s. :))
Ad definite period piece.
The spire is lovely! Very nice church!
Simple, but lovely.
Being born in 1950, yes, this does bring back fond memories for me of that time. Thanks for visiting my blog. I am enjoying seeing churches from other places.

Sweet looking church.
Very lovely, and your shadows are a nice touch falling against the church. Very pretty.
Interesting textures and nice colors.
Does look handicap accessible! Tom The Backroads Traveller
