The Altar
The altar itself is beautifully carved in elegant simplicity.
There is no pulpit or elaborate throne in the sanctuary and little to distract from the celebrations on the altar. There is a simple but artistic ambo done in bronze with a solid oak inset. This was designed and made by Mark Ryan so that it would be in sympathy with the baptismal font.
The presider’s chair is beautifully carved in oak and is flanked by two carved oak stools for the acolytes. The chair and stools were designed by Chris Ryan.
The furniture does not intrude on the liturgy, thus leaving the sanctuary with a great sense of space. |
