The Project
The overall style of the church is influenced by elements from ancient Greek and Roman church architecture. A peculiarity found in the western Catholic churches is the receptacle in which water is held for the baptism, known as the ‘Baptismal Font’ which is not found in Indian churches. In this church, we have introduced this fashion of using a ‘Baptismal Font’ as the central feature, since it is one of the most important rituals of the Christian churches. To embellish the church further, intricate ornamentation was carved in wood for the interior and plaster for the exterior. Locally available sandstone cladding was used for the outer surfaces.
