This modest church, situated on a quiet country road looking out to the Atlantic Ocean, is a fine example of early twentieth-century religious architecture. It is not highly ornate, yet its simple elegant detailing and its siting within the landscape makes it a fine contributor to the architectural heritage of the area. Its understated stained glass windows and simple Celtic cross finials add an artistic air to this refined church building.
