Art and Architecture Luncheon

With its exterior facade patterned after the Church of San Pietro in Tuscania and its ceiling echoing that of San Miniato Basilica in Florence, the sanctuary was designed by local architect brothers Francis Pierpont Davis and Walter S. Davis. Interior appointments include a distinctive altar triptych; extensive mosaics, marble panels, stained glass, and the bishop’s hand-carved cathedra (official seat). The 1925 sanctuary was built to replace a wooden church that our parish, founded in 1890, had outgrown. St. John’s was named the diocese’s pro-cathedral in 2007.
