St. Jerome Roman Catholic Church honors Eusebius Hieronymous Sophronius, later called Jerome, the translator of the Bible from Hebrew and Greek into Latin, the common language who died in 420 A.D..

St. Jerome is the patron saint of librarians, scholars, and students. The church that bears his name was designed by the architect as a 16-sided santuary that draws the assembly closer to the altar, and topped by a dramatic, folded-plate-style roof. The church could be described as “part spaceship, part starburst”. If you have the opportunity to visit the architect's Vallejo Drive Seventh Day Adventist Church in Glendale, California or the Community of Christ Church in San Jose both designed by Kinsler in 1967 you will note a striking similarity of style. Located at 5550 Thornburn Street in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles.
