The recent project St Jude Liturgical Arts Studio completed at the Cathedral of St Peter in Wilmington DE is a great example of our expertise in Ecclesiastical marble work. The Rector, Father Cocucci, wanted to focus on the Eucharist as the dominant component of the Cathedral to emphasize the belief that the Eucharist should be the keystone of the life of every Catholic. We were asked to move the tabernacle and the 9 foot tall marble pedestal from the alcove on the side of the sanctuary to the center behind the altar. To make space for this it was necessary to dismantle and move the marble Bishops’ chair along with two marble side chairs to the opposite side of the Sanctuary. In the space vacated by the tabernacle we moved and reset the marble pedestal for the Blessed Mother statue that was in the back of the Cathedral. All of the marble was cleaned before the project was completed. This added to the feeling of an all new worship space as well as expressing important theological concepts through church architecture. Can we help you relocate hard to move components of your sanctuary? Please call us at 800-523-7604
