Knights of Columbus Chapel
The chapel located in the Knights of Columbus’ headquarters building underwent an elaborate renovation. The project included new masonry walls, on which beautiful mosaic scenes were created. These mosaics were the work of Jesuit Father Marko Ivan Rupnik, S.J., a Slovenian mosaic artist who used different-sized tiles, dramatic color contrasts, and contemporary imagery and design to evoke the tradition of icons. Petra’s custom millwork shop fabricated a wood ceiling and wall panels, wood louvered panels, and an altar platform. An updated fire protection system and improved lighting were also included in the scope.
