As part of the ongoing renovation of St. John Vianney Catholic Church, Liturgical Designer Rolf Rohn developed the master plan to unify the church, chapel, and narthex. After a series of Catholic church design and liturgical planning workshops with the parish team, he oversaw the complete interior design, including an impressive custom serpentine floor that pulled these spaces together. Reflecting the Christian theme of the journey from Baptism to Eucharist, it highlights the Christian virtues in beautiful mosaics. A custom crucifix, hand-carved Catholic saint statues, and harmonious liturgical furniture were designed by experts from Rohn & Associates Custom Studio.
The teams worked in concert to develop inspiring concepts and implement them. Graphic Designer Maria Hubbard provided 3D interior views that helped the parish envision the finished project and support their capital campaign. Liturgical Interior Designer Kathy Maglicco directed the church interior design efforts that included custom church murals and complementary interior finishes and materials sourced with assistance from Rohn’s specialty suppliers. Together, these collaborative efforts brought unity to the church’s sanctuary, creating a cohesive worship space that reflects the Catholic faith and supports the parish’s liturgical life.
If the custom three-dimensional Stations of the Cross are an indication of how the rest of the project will turn out, there is no question that this renewal could set a standard for the entire diocese. The chapel renovation and new adoration chapel are scheduled be finished by May 2016 with the entire project completed by August 2016.
