Christ the Redeemer Roman Catholic Parish

LocationSwift Current, Saskatchewan

Completion2018

Overview

The addition to Christ the Redeemer Roman Catholic Parish includes a sanctuary, offices, and flexible spaces that reflect the current and future needs of the growing parish. The building is carefully adapted to the existing site at the edge of the community between built and natural environments, providing the parish with an inspiring context of the surrounding prairie landscape. 

The light-filled sanctuary features columns of light, large vertical windows that link parishioners to the existing prairie setting. The addition utilized pre-engineered structural systems to minimize cost and is enveloped by a skin of ribbed metal panels and glass that reflect the prairie sky and glow with warmth at night. Although a modest structure, the sanctuary’s bold form, surface and symbols make it recognizable both day and night as a symbol of faith and pride.

Completion2015

Overview

The objective of the Living Hope Alliance Church project was to create a 950-seat worship space that enhanced the spiritual experience, created a welcoming environment, produced better accessibility and flow through the building, and provided flexibility for community use.  

Colour was used symbolically: white representing purity and light; purple representing His majesty; turquoise representing healing; yellow representing joy; and the dominant colour of blue signifying hope, grace and freedom. A glass art installation was produced by a local artist, taking inspiration from the northern lights. A cross sits in front of the glass as a reminder to those leaving the church of their spiritual role within the community.
