History

Built in 1959, The Immaculata Church was envisioned by Mother Rosalie Hill and designed by architect Frank Hope. It was established to serve as the heart of the then-San Diego College for Women, which is now part of the University of San Diego. Since its consecration, the church has been a focal point for Catholic worship and a landmark of the community.
