St. EDward CATHOLIC CHURCH

This full interior renovation / beautification of a 1972 Assembly of God church purchased to provide a larger home for a growing parish with limited capacity in the downtown church. The project is themed for patron king St. Edward, with English gothic touches added to the familiar A-frame interior. An entirely rebuilt sanctuary platform with reredos and side shrines provides an element to house the crucifix and tabernacle that helps to more impressively scale the room and supplement the altar as focal point. New interior gothic pendant lights and pews were added to complement the interior appointments, and a custom mosaic adorns the center of the cross aisle.

Completed Summer 2022

“The liturgical designers at Studio io specialize in making ugly churches beautiful. In our case, it was converting a Protestant church into a Catholic Church.  They walked with us every step of the way beginning with an in-person visit, several renderings with varying price projections, and finally the implementation of our desired plans. Even when challenges arose in the renovation and building of certain aspects of the plan, Studio io consultants were easily contactable and provided support. I hope that every parish priest considering renovating his parish church considers Studio io when looking for advisors.” 

– Rev. Nolan T. Lowry, STL, Pastor, St. Edward Catholic Church
