The Holy Spirit Byzantine Catholic Church broke ground on this location in Oakland in 1960. According to their website, the stained glass windows and exterior facade triptych subsequently were blessed on the 11th of September in 1966

The church offers a virtual tour on their website where Monsignor Duker provides this information about the mosaic mural:
It is one of the four largest in the country. It is created from seven million pieces of Venetian glass. It was made in Pietro Santo, Italy. The mosaic was shipped to Pittsburgh in sections and reassembled by Rudolph N. Rohn Co. The center panel shows the Trinity nature of God, while the left panel shows twelve figures from the Old Testament and twelve figures on the right panel from the New Testament.
