Rolf Rohn

Liturgical Designer

​

Catholic liturgical designer Rolf Rohn specializes in church and sanctuary design, renovation, liturgical planning, and the integration of sacred and liturgical art and furnishings, helping parishes and dioceses transform their churches and chapels. With experience on more than 3,300 Catholic projects worldwide, he guides pastors, parish leaders, and building committees through Catholic church master planning, sanctuary layout, lighting, acoustics, and functional worship space design. Drawing on deep expertise in Catholic liturgy, he creates beautiful, practical, and inspiring worship environments that support the celebration of the Mass, honor tradition, meet pastoral needs, and engage congregations for generations. From concept to completion, he ensures that every element—from layout and furnishings to church lighting design and acoustics planning—supports participation in the liturgy while reflecting the identity of each parish and remaining faithful to Church guidelines.
