This 150 year old soaring brick church, built by German immigrants, suffered from a patchwork of interventions over the years which obscured its original grandeur. Laudate Sacred Art developed a design which respects the church’s existing architectural beauty.


A Latin text was inscribed in gold above the central arch:
TU+ES+PETRUS+ET+SUPER+HANC+PETRAM
+AEDIFICABO+ECCLESIAM+MEUM
and echoed by the inscription on band in the apse: ET+PORTAE+INFERI+NON+PRAEVALEBUNT+ADVERSUM+EAM
The design for the black and white tile floor enlivened St. Peter’s Church while staying within budget.
