St. Thomas More Catholic Church
Bethel Park, PA
Rohn & Associates Design led the liturgical design, sacred art, and custom church furnishings for St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The new worship space reflects a contemporary Catholic aesthetic—bright, open, and filled with natural light—while remaining deeply rooted in sacred tradition.
​
Behind the altar, a striking hand-carved wood relief of the Risen Christ serves as the focal point, radiating a message of resurrection and renewal. Along the side of the church, a companion carving of Jesus with the inscription “Come back to me with all of your heart” invites reflection and reconciliation. The baptismal font, crafted from elegant black marble with an inlaid gold cross, anchors the space in both beauty and sacramental symbolism.
This project was also the first in Pittsburgh where parish members took part in designing their liturgical space—an approach that later inspired three other parishes to do the same. Their involvement fostered deeper understanding, participation, and remarkable fundraising support for the project.
​
Together, these elements form a harmonious environment for prayer and celebration—uniting craftsmanship, theology, and artistry in a way that uplifts the spirit and honors the sacred identity of this Catholic community.
