Church of the Good Shepherd, church in California, United States
The Church of the Good Shepherd is a white stucco church with two tall towers capped by gold domes and crosses, topped with red roof tiles. Its central gabled facade has three arched doorways and a large arched window with tracery. Designed by James J. Donnellan in 1924, it is the oldest church in Beverly Hills.
The parish was founded on December 12, 1923, and architect James J. Donnellan designed the church in 1924. Bishop John Joseph Cantwell dedicated the building on February 1, 1925, making it the oldest church in Beverly Hills. A 1959 renovation added a marble main altar and two side altars, each sealing relics of Saints Felicitas and Perpetua and Saint Vibiana.
The church sits at 504 North Roxbury Drive, and the three arched doorways of the facade open onto Roxbury. It is an active parish, so visits are best timed around Mass rather than during it. The 1959 marble main altar and the two side altars holding the relics of Saints Felicitas, Perpetua and Vibiana are inside the nave.
