History
The wood frame church was built for the Parish of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in 1854 at Market Street between Second and Third Streets in the neighborhood once called Happy Valley (present location of the Palace Hotel in the Financial District).[4][5][6]
The building was moved in 1873 to Eddy Street and was used by the Parish of Saint John the Baptist Church.[1] It was moved again in 1891 to its present location at 1820 Eddy Street and was used by the Parish of Holy Cross until 1899.[1] After 1899 it was used as parish hall. The building is now located next to the Macang Monastery complex, a Buddhist temple.[4]
