When three small rural parishes united to form one congregation, they needed a home worthy of their combined spirit.
BTBB designed the 14,000-square-foot St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church on a donated 10-acre site in Ray City, complete with a 280-seat sanctuary, soaring vaulted ceilings, a barrel-vaulted gathering lobby, classrooms, a chapel, and even a church bookstore. The rustic brick, stone, and board & batten exterior is crowned by a handsome bell tower. Inside, custom pews bear an insignia of three fish encircling a cross, a symbol of the three parishes now joined as one. The altar, featuring twin kneeling angels, was hand-carved from a single cypress log by one of the parishioners.
Thank you, St. Anthony of Padua, for entrusting BTBB with such a meaningful project.
