St. Casimir Church serves as the sanctuary of Lithuanian immigrants and their families in the West coast. Its first pastor Msgr. Julius Macijauskas celebrated the first Mass somewhere in Santa Monica with a small congregation who fled when Communists occupied the homeland during World War II. Ten years later, the second pastor Msgr. Jonas Kucsingis dedicated the church on November 4, 1951 at its present location in the Los Feliz district. Today, St. Casimir  brings Christ to a diverse community of immigrants. It respects and welcomes the traditions and religious practices of other nationalities such as Filipinos and Latinos in the light of the new evangelization.
