ABOUT US
Sainte-Chapelle Studios is a full-service Catholic non-profit sacred architecture firm. Our mission is to preserve, beautify, and build your Catholic parishes and schools of today and tomorrow. Many parish communities are discouraged when exploring how their churches and schools can be beautified or rebuilt. Sainte-Chapelle Studios is committed to drawing from the deep well of the Church’s tradition in order to help communities create spaces worthy of the worship of God and sanctification of man.
Sainte-Chapelle Studios is proposing an innovative alternative. Our passionate team of designers, artists, theologians, and architect craft each project to the specific needs, budget, culture, and spiritual heritage of each Catholic parish, school, and ministry site. Like you, we have a deep love of God and His Church, and seek to surround his people with spaces that inspire wonder, love, and hope.
