Additional observations  St. Hedwig is a church of the Diocese of Orange, located in the small city of Los Alamitos in the northwestern end of Orange County.  It began with the establishment of nearby St. Isidore Church in 1921; St. Hedwig Church was completed in 1960 and St. Isidore finally closed in 1999 (today, its historic buildings are a historical plaza).  St. Hedwig’s was eventually renovated, with the renovated church re-opening in 1990.
