Chapel of the Incarnate Word

San Antonio, TX

Rohn Design led the complete interior and exterior renovation and restoration of the historic Chapel of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. This Catholic sacred space was revitalized through a comprehensive building program that balanced architectural preservation with liturgical functionality.

​

The scope included space formation, altar design, tabernacle and tabernacle throne, baptismal font, ambo, crucifix, interior decoration, and carved elements, as well as restoration of original surfaces and sacred artwork. Rolf designed meaningful details, such as the Amor Meus—"My Love"—marble flooring, to reflect the Sisters’ mission to make tangible the healing love of Jesus, the Incarnate Word, by promoting human dignity. Restoration of the tympanum, presider’s chair, and deacon’s chair, along with new and restored art glass, was completed.

 

A new Reserved Eucharist Chapel was introduced to enhance Eucharistic devotion. Custom lighting and control systems were developed to highlight key liturgical elements and support the prayerful atmosphere. The project also included a vesting area, sacristy, and storage spaces, along with liturgical updates throughout the chapel. Rohn Design guided fundraising efforts as part of the complete interior and exterior renovation, restoration, and building program.
