The Nativity by Barocci

Barocci, Federico. "The Nativity," 1574. Oil on Canvas. Madrid, Prado Museum.

As we reflect on 2023, we are humbled by the opportunities we have been blessed with. Through them we have been welcomed into dozens of ecclesiastic spaces across the country. We've met the most wonderful people who are passionate about creating beautiful sacred spaces whether through new design or returning to original patterns and motifs. Each project brings a new appreciation for the marvel of historic churches and how early architects and parishes used various styles of building and paint finishes to glorify God and to bring their congregations closer to the liturgy.  

President, David Riccio states, "Every historic project was originally constructed with very specific intentions, symbolism and purposes in mind. It is always our goal to let those details guide our designs and work.  With deep respect for and the keen ability to interpret historic, period interiors with complex finish systems, we strive to seek Truth, Goodness, and Beauty as our guides."

We've had the pleasure to work with award-winning architects, the US Archdiocese for Military Services, colleges that are seeking campus chapels for their students, and priests and parishes who are eager to return traditional Catholic elements to their sanctuaries.
