Our Enduring Covenant
3D Renderings
This page shows various 3D renderings of what the expanded church would look like. NOTE: the actual construction will be made of red brick, chosen to match the current color and texture of the church. The renderings shown below are false-colorer: the existing church is shown in dark brown, while the expansion/renovation is shown in beige.

Exterior
View from the church parking lot. This will be the primary entrance to the church (although the entrance on Main St. will remain, we recognize that the majority of parishioners enter from the parking lot side). On the ground floor, the school entrance lobby is on the right, the parish Gathering space is on the left, and the main staircase is in the center (under the glass ceiling).

View from Main St., looking down on the west side of the church. The church is in the foreground, while the addition (Gathering space, etc.) is in the background. Note the glass-wall area in the middle - a lobby, the elevator and side stairwell are in this area. Note also the small arched window close to Main St. This is the stained glass window that currently looks out over the parking lot - it was part of the original St. Mary's Church, built in 1923.

Aerial
Aerial view of the entire property. Note that the rectory, O'Connell Pastoral Center, and existing church are shown in brown. The additions and expansions are shown in beige. Note also that the properties beyond the rectory have been converted into additional parking.

Interior
View from the choir loft, looking straight down toward the altar. Note that the altar has been moved toward the congregation, so that the parisioners sitting in the expansion areas (left and right - see next image) will have a clear view. Note also that the baptismal font will be moved into the expansion area on the right.

This view is also from the choir loft, looking down into the expanded Nave.
