The cornerstone of the church we know today was laid in May 1910. Although the structure wasn't completed, the funeral of Monsignor Dominic Majer was held there in March of 1911. Majer was the first Polish priest to be made a prelate in the United States. He was active in efforts to promote the Polish Catholic church and steer a course between competing factions in America's Polish Catholic churches.

Date: September 23, 1940
