This 20,000 ft² building focuses on simplified design elements consistent with the philosophy of the Franciscan Order.

The design impetus was to create a bright, open, flexible space with daylight throughout. The building includes a reception area and basement meeting hall.

The cost of an earlier program and schematic design for this new church was estimated at $5.9 Million, vastly exceeding the Parish budget. +VG Architects was successful in making revisions that retained the original
design concept and majority of program elements at an affordable cost. Tender was received well under budget.
