Rendering of the new Ressurection of Our Lord Catholic Church
Worshippers at Resurrection
of Our Lord Church in
Savannah will soon be
enjoying prayer and the
sacraments in a beautiful
new sanctuary. Designed to
replace the former Saint
Anthony’s sanctuary, now
bursting at the seams, the
new building will be able to
seat up to 500 people on spe
cial occasions due to the cre
ative open plan and allow
space for a music ministry
and administrative offices
for the parish, as well as
rooms for ushers and brides
to prepare. Placed on the
highest ground on the church
campus, the building faces
Bay Street from a distance
and gives the smaller exist
ing buildings a new focal
center.. Resurrection of Our
Lord Church is a shining
example of these principles.
Designed by Savannah
architects Gunn Meyerhoff
Shay, the new sanctuary con
sistently adheres to the fea
tures recommended by the
U.S. Green Building
Council’s LEED program,
although it will not request
certification.
For example, the building’s
roof is designed to catch
rainwater and channel it
through rain barrels for irri
gation. The parking areas are
paved in pervious stone to let
excess storm water percolate
into the ground rather than
flood surrounding streets.
The entire building has high
performance spray foam
insulation and a high effi
ciency air conditioning sys
tem, therefore eliminating
energy leaks. Interior light
ing utilizes new technology
lamps that produce great
amounts of light while gen
erating little heat and
the sanctuary is bathed in
daylight from the high
clerestory windows. Interior
floors, cabinetry and trim
made from bamboo, a rapid
ly renewable natural
resource, give the spaces a
warm distinctive look and
eliminates glued down car
pet that consumes much
electricity to maintain and
gives off unhealthy fumes.
Collectively, the beautiful
high ceilings in daylight, the
warm natural interiors, and
the quiet climate control sys
tem will work together to
make Resurrection of Our
Lord Church a holy place
that shines as an example of
environmental stewardship.
The long awaited answers to
the prayers of the parish
have been realized at last!
It’s “Back To School” Time!
s^abatmab tribune will publish
a Back To School Special on
Wednesday, August 11,2009
This special issue will contain
the latest information on bus
routes, school changes,
uniforms and much more.
