History

The church was built between 1891 and 1895 to the designs of architect Thomas F. Houghton.^[1] OLOV is a classic Gothic style church, made of dark Manhattan schist trimmed with white limestone.

Due to a decrease in the population at nearby parishes, in 2011 Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio ordered for the church to be merged with Holy Rosary and St. Peter Claver, forming a new parish: St. Martin De Porres. The current pastor is Fr Alonzo Cox, at one point the youngest pastor in the diocese. In 2017-2018, the church marked its 150th anniversary.
