St. Brendan the Navigator Church exterior

The current church building, originally dedicated in 1981, was built with a striking asymmetrical design with many unique elements. Notably, the church tabernacle is an 8-foot-tall (2.4 m) smooth granite column designed after the Monolith of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The church also has a school, (St.Brendan), with roughly 500 students right now.
