St. Augustine Catholic Church (Culver City, California)

That year, a resident of the area donated land on Washington Boulevard for the construction of a new mission church in La Ballona Valley.The Los Angeles Times reported on the opening of the new church: "More than 2000 worshipers, including motion picture stars from the M-G-M studios across Washington Boulevard, attended the services."[2][3] In November 1938, a controversy arose when Archbishop Cantwell announced plans to transfer O'Donnell to Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Hollywood.In 1946, a wealthy parishioner left her $100,000 estate to O'Donnell, who the Los Angeles Times described as "the Irish priest who won the hearts of many a movie mogul during the 15 years he was pastor of Culver City's St. Augustine Catholic Church.Well-known radio and television personality Bishop Fulton Sheen, who went to seminary with O'Donnell, traveled to Culver City to speak at the dedication.
