Thoughtful Design for

Fellowship and Worship

This project was initiated with a study and master plan for the existing parish campus. The first phase of the project began with an addition to the existing parish center and fellowship hall, consisting of six new classrooms, a library and a conference room. The fellowship hall served as the location to hold services during the renovation of the sanctuary, which began the second phase of the project.

This phase involved the renovation and reorientation of the sanctuary, expanding it to 525 seats. The site was also re-configured to provide additional parking and create two separate entrances to the sanctuary. To join the two new entries, a new gathering space was created with a glass wall separating it from the sanctuary, allowing for overflow seating during Christmas and Easter holiday masses.

A new day chapel was created from a portion of the existing sanctuary to be used for smaller gatherings, including weekday services and small weddings. Additional features include a new choir room, sacristy, reconciliation chapel, Eucharist chapel, a custom-designed baptismal font and an exterior spiritual garden.
