At its heart is a new piazza inspired by vibrant urban centers in Florence, Rome, and Venice. Bounded by the parish’s recently restored Gothic stone church, its rectory, and a planned housing development, a rose-covered trellis and courtyard will provide respite and tranquility to all who enter. It will also provide open space for special events and outdoor worship.

The project also includes 10,000-square-feet of renovation and expansion of the historic 1851 wood-framed rectory. It will provide spaces for offices, parish meetings, and religious education classes. The upper floors offer private quarters for the clergy and an expansive rooftop garden. Its basement will house meeting rooms and mechanical equipment.
