Grace Hebert Curtis Architects worked with St. George Catholic Church leaders and parishioners to develop a master plan that centered on a new place of worship. After spending 50 years in a facility that was not originally built as a church, the parish’s goal was to create a welcoming and community-oriented environment that would speak to all generations of the St. George family, artfully balancing traditional liturgical architecture with contemporary elements such as projection screens. The firm ultimately designed a 1,200-seat church that includes a 120-person chapel. Exterior courtyards at both the main entry and the chapel entry encourage community interaction. This simple, yet elegant, design takes inspiration from a variety of transcendental Christian motifs. For example, the Gothic arch theme is repeated gracefully throughout the structure, most prominently in the entryway, but also in the soaring, vaulted sanctuary ceiling.
