Saint Thomas Aquinas Chapel - Dominican House of Studies
Washington, DCInterior improvements to an existing chapel to better serve the Dominican seminarians in their study to become priests. The design provides a chapel at one end of the room and a homiletics lab at the opposite end. The sanctuary was extended, and the original marble altar was restored and relocated away from the sanctuary wall so as to accommodate both rites of the Mass. Phase I improvements are complete and are shown here. Continuing phases of work include new stained-glass windows as well as a wooden beam ceiling with decorative church symbols gilded and painted on the surface.
