Call (555) 014-2290How it works
Call the parish office or send a note. Tell us the date you have in mind and what you would like to photograph, film or celebrate.
The office enters you in the book, confirms the permit, ceremony or event, and tells you what the building can do that day.
Come at the appointed hour. Someone meets you, opens the sanctuary, and points out where the light will fall.
The building is yours for the booked time. Work slowly, keep the silence, and leave it as you found it.
The gallery
Plaster, timber, turquoise sills and a light that changes hour by hour. These are the rooms a permit opens: the sanctuary, the grounds, and the parish hall when it is set for a gathering.
Bringing a camera? The permit is arranged ahead of time, and the office will tell you when the sanctuary is quiet.
