St. Elizabeth Church and School (Van Nuys)
- St. Elizabeth Church and School (Van Nuys)
St. Elisabeth Church and School is a Catholic Church and elementary school located in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California. It is one of the oldest parishes in the San Fernando Valley, having been established in 1920. When the current Church was dedicated in 1948, it was the largest Catholic Church in the Valley.
St. Elisabeth Catholic School was founded by the Sister’s of Providence from St. Mary of the Woods, Indiana. The school opened its doors on September 11, 1928 located in the heart of Van Nuys. The school first stood as one two-story building with four classes and an auditorium.
The controversial Father Michael Baker, a Catholic priest accused of sexual molestation, was twice assigned to St. Elisabeth's between 1987 and 1991. Controversy arose when it was revealed that Baker had admitted to molestation before being reassigned to St. Elisabeth's. After an investigation by the Archdiocese, Father Baker was laicized in 2000.
