I help clients to understand, explore and appreciate the possibilities within their community for full expression of the Church's liturgical rites. The official documents on church art and architecture are essential tools for enabling each faith community to arrive at the best setting for liturgy. This is an exciting process which can result in a unique outcome expressive of a particular community's identity and understanding of itself as a worshiping assembly in the Roman Catholic tradition. I believe that my educational background as a De La Salle Christian Brother is a particular asset in bringing clients to this awareness.
