Why is the Church designed as it is?
    The semicircular arrangement of the pews brings the worshipers closer to the altar thus making them feel more a part of the Mass and encouraging greater participation. The last pew will be 60 feet from the altar. By pitching the floor, those in the back will have a clearer view of the altar. Provisions have been made for the handicapped and hearing impaired.

What provisions have been made for the music ministry?

What is the Narthex?

A coat room and small kitchen, complete with sink, stove and refrigerator are also to be found off the narthex as are rest room facilities.

Will there be a Daily Mass Chapel?
