History:

The church was founded in 1906 as a spiritual outpost for isolated rail and oil workers. At that time, the area was a quaint rural community called Sherman.

The history of St. Victor’s Church, West Hollywood’s oldest institution, reflects the growth of the Los Angeles region, the character of the Westside, the importance of the entertainment industry to the region and the impact of changing demographics and social changes on the Church as a whole.

St. Victor's Catholic Church is an urban community of faith located in the heart of a busy and heavily populated metropolis. We believe in the power of the gospel to transform our lives and society around us, even in the most cosmopolitan of settings. We are a city on a hill. We are the light of the world. We are the salt of the earth
