Update on Church Altar Enhancement
What you see in the design are woods in concert with our existing woods and familiar shapes such as the curvature of our altar steps and the columns at our church entrance and altar. The design incorporates what the Second Vatican Council says about the Mass as the institution of the sacrifice of Christ’s body and blood by moving the crucifix to a central location above the tabernacle behind the altar (General Instruction of the Roman Missal #1). Our design is the product of consultation from parish staff, the parish council, the finance council, and the parish at large.
