History
Established in 1908.
Early in the 20th Century lying Southeast of Oakland was the village of Elmhurst with a population centered around Oakland, San Leandro and Hayward. (Elmhurst became a part of Oakland in 1910). In 1908 there was sufficient Catholic population in Elmhurst to warrant the construction of a new church. Mrs. Ludovina Peralta Ivey was the donor of the land on which the church and school now stand.
The first Mass at St. Louis Bertrand was celebrated on the Feast of the Holy Rosary, the first Sunday of October 4, 1908. From October 1908 until Christmas Day 1909, Mass was celebrated in a private residence at 1245 «A» Street, the home of the Cereghinos. Ground was broken for the new church on May 14, 1909 and the first Mass was celebrated on Christmas Day, 1909. The new church was formally dedicated on April 17, 1910.
