history
Already in 1905 it was planned to build another parish in Schwabing to relieve the parish of St. Ursula . The foundation stone for St. Sebastian was laid on December 9, 1928. The building in the New Objectivity style is the work of Eduard Herbert and Otho Orlando Kurz , it is now a listed building, as are the surrounding residential buildings on both sides of Karl-Theodor-Straße by the same architects.
On November 10, 1929 St. Sebastian was consecrated by Archbishop Michael Cardinal Faulhaber . Spiritual Counselor Otto Breiter was the first pastor of the parish of St. Sebastian from 1928 until his death in 1954. On July 11, 1944, the church and the rectory were just missed by three phosphor canisters and numerous incendiary bombs in an air raid by the 8th US Air Force , and one canister hit the left aisle. On July 31, 1944, the church was almost completely destroyed by fire bombs. The church was then rebuilt in a simplified manner until 1949.

During the 1970s, the parish owned the largest parish youth in the diocese of Munich and Freising. Today (2014) it offers a regular browsing lesson to promote reading skills in children and young people. The parish has four choirs: Zwergerlchor, Kinderchor, Patchworkchor and the SebastiansChor Munich.
Only after 50 years of existence did the parish receive its own parish home with a parish hall.

Parish Association
Since the foundation in December 2014, the cooperation between the two parishes of St. Sebastian and Maria has been deepened and optimized by the Good Council . The committees, such as the two parish councils, work closely together. If the youth and acolyte work in both parishes was left to itself, joint activities occasionally enrich the parish association significantly.
With around 15,200 Catholics, the parish association "Am Luitpoldpark" is home to two of the largest parishes in the downtown deanery. Whereby St. Sebastian was awarded the leading position in the parish association with around 8,800 Catholics.
