The Altar

Our 8 sided mahogany altar with marble top.
The 8 panels tell the story of "a grain of wheat"from the Gospel of St. John.
Our altar has a top that is constructed of Roman Travertine Marble.  The side panels are hand carved from kiln dried Honduran mahogany.  The eight panels, like the eight sides of our baptismal font, suggest the eighth day, the day of resurrection.

The Ambo

The three panels tell the parable of the sower and the seed. (Gospel of St. Matthew)
