Catholic Church Renovation, Restoration
& New Construction Projects
Guiding Parishes Through Every Stage of Church Design
Rohn & Associates specializes in Catholic liturgical design, guiding parishes and dioceses through new church construction, Catholic church renovation, and historic church restoration. Working closely with pastors, parish committees, diocesan leaders, architects, general contractors, artists, and artisans, we provide liturgical master planning and design for parish churches, chapels, cathedrals, and basilicas. Our design process takes into account Vatican guidelines for Catholic church construction and renovation, diocesan requirements, and applicable building codes and accessibility standards. Services include sanctuary design, commissioned sacred art and custom liturgical furnishings, church interior finishes and decorative painting, church lighting and acoustics, and ADA accessibility, with careful attention to the celebration of the Mass and the needs of each Catholic community.

New Catholic Church
Construction Projects
Rohn & Associates specializes in Catholic church design and liturgical planning for new church construction, combining church master planning and worship space design with custom sacred art and liturgical furnishings to create church interiors worthy of the worship of God and expressive of the truths of the Catholic Faith. We work with pastors, parish building committees, and dioceses from initial concepts through detailed design and installation, helping keep projects on budget and on schedule.
Our planning addresses sanctuary layout, seating capacity, processional routes, accessibility, and the placement of the altar, ambo, tabernacle, and baptismal font, as well as the design and placement of chapels and devotional shrines within the church. We develop custom altars and liturgical furnishings and integrate sacred art—including murals, mosaics, stained glass, crucifixes, and statues—with church flooring, interior finishes, lighting, and acoustics. These decisions bring together the practical requirements of church design and the artistic expression of Catholic faith, with the celebration of the Mass at the center. Design renderings and presentation materials help building committees evaluate proposals, communicate their vision, and advance church capital campaigns.
Catholic Church Renovation
& Restoration Projects
Rohn & Associates specializes in Catholic church renovation, sanctuary redesign and reordering, and historic church restoration. Working with pastors, parish building committees, and dioceses, we help renew church interiors while safeguarding their history, Catholic identity, and important works of sacred art—preparing these churches to serve future generations of Catholics. Our planning considers sanctuary layout, altar and tabernacle placement, accessibility, and the relationship between original furnishings, artwork, and proposed functional improvements. Whether a parish is undertaking a comprehensive church renovation or addressing specific areas in need of restoration, we help establish priorities for retaining, repairing, restoring, or replacing existing features.
From sanctuary renovation and custom altars to church lighting, acoustics, flooring, and interior finishes, we address the practical and artistic considerations involved in renewing a church. We restore and conserve historic murals, mosaics, stained glass windows, Catholic statues, crucifixes, Stations of the Cross, marble altars, decorative painting, gilded details, ornamental plasterwork, and historic woodwork. Our work also includes restoring historic liturgical furnishings, preserving significant craftsmanship while making thoughtful improvements to the church interior. Artistic concepts and presentation materials help parishes evaluate proposed changes, communicate renovation plans to parishioners and donors, and support church capital campaigns.
