As a Catholic Church-owned building, the church and its associated buildings will not be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but the resource has been found 'eligible' (as of June 2016) for the National Register under Criterion A (Events) and Criterion C (Architecture). A finding of eligibility allows for the same protections and establishes that the property is a historic resource. To see the information I used to argue for its significance, please explore!
