DEDICATION OF ST PAUL CHURCH IN PENSACOLA

The church of St Paul in Pensacola was dedicated on 24 August 2008 by The Most Reverend John H. Ricard SSJ. Over 1400 parishioners were in attendance for the Rite of Dedication.

The new church features both reclaimed sacred art — stained glass windows from the Archiodiocese of Philadelphia and the Diocese of Oakland — as well as newly commissioned works by Wastweet Studios in Seattle WA, Mosaica in New York, Keith Johnson and Images of the Cross in Augusta GA, Vonn Hartung in Puerto Rico, Donohue Fine Arts in Sierra Vista AZ, DiStefano Ruiz Studio in Oakland CA, and Dan Simic of Pensacola.

The Architect of Record was Bullock Tice of Pensacola.

Dr. Steven Schloeder served as the liturgical architect, designing the various major liturgical furnishings, coordinating the adapted stained glass with Beyer Stained Glass Studio in Philadelphia and DiStefano Ruiz Studio in Oakland CA, and orchestrating the work of the various artists, artisans and vendors.
