St. Helen Parish contacted the Architect to define a master plan for a new sanctuary on their existing site in Pearland, TX. In order to gain acceptance of the planning effort and for the parish to have “ownership” of the design process, the Architect brought the parish together with a series of workshops to define the vision of the parish. Over a 6 month period the master plan and design concept for the expansion was complete. Fundraising took less than six months and construction began.

Gregory M. Davis, AIA Project Architect and Ben Eastman, with the firm collaboration on the design of the liturgical elements including the Tabernacle, Altar, Ambo, Chair, Stations of the Cross, and Baptismal font. Other liturgical elements were designed by other artist including Steve Wilson Stained Glass.
