St. James Cathedral
Renovation, including Liturgical Design, Furnishings & Sacred Art
Orlando, FL

Rohn Design developed and designed a complete interior church renovation program for the Mother Church of the Diocese of Orlando, St. James Cathedral.

​

Our work included liturgical design, commissioned sacred and liturgical art, new presbyterium seating, stencil work, custom liturgical furniture, and appointments. The goal was to restore a sense of sacred beauty to the space while meeting modern liturgical needs.

​

Highlights include a custom marble altar, ambo, and baptismal font, with bas-relief carvings of St. James and the Four Evangelists; a dramatic oil-on-canvas Pentecost sanctuary mural; and a large hand-carved Catholic crucifix backed by a painting of Jerusalem. Renaissance-style church murals illustrating the life of St. James further enrich the space, reinforcing the cathedral’s role as a cornerstone of Catholic worship in central Florida.
