Nestled within our campus, the Seminary Church stands as a beacon of spiritual significance and architectural distinction, bridging the heritage of the historic seminary with our modern expansion. Its sleek, minimalist design, clad in pristine white, commands attention, symbolizing purity and reverence.
At its heart lies the symbolic stone "carpet," an emblematic pathway that extends into the courtyard, inviting contemplation and connection. Within, this stone centerpiece transcends its physical form, shaping sacred spaces for confession and prayer, while the altar, crafted from Dietfurt limestone, embodies the profound mystery of the Eucharist.
Above, diamond-patterned wooden slats infuse the chapel with warmth and tranquility, the gentle arrangement harmonizes with the soft glow of natural light streaming through expansive glass elements. This harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary aesthetics creates a haven for spiritual solace, offering a timeless sanctuary for worship and introspection.
