Description

Founded in 1904 as a German/Luxembourger parish, St. Gregory the Great is a Norman Gothic gem from the 1920s with a lavishly-decorated ceiling, hidden chapels and a permanently-installed Nativity scene that can be concealed when not needed. The pulpit, shrines and Stations of the Cross were hand-carved in Germany, and the windows are made of English and jewel glass. See oil paintings, organs and many other beautiful details throughout the large sanctuary and its two chapels.
