Saints John & Paul Catholic Church & Grotto
Desmone designed a new basilica-style worship facility for Saints John and Paul Church on a 12-acre site. Built of brick and sandstone in a cruciform shape, it seats 1,500 and includes a choir loft, parish offices, meeting space, and a 150-seat grotto chapel. Over 30 reclaimed stained-glass windows were retrofitted throughout. The chapel features stone walls, wood details, and indirect lighting to create an intimate, spiritual space for daily Mass, small weddings, and adoration.
