Catherine McAuley Chapel

Award winning interfaith chapel, at Mercy Medical Center. The custom designed chapel has natural light, wood ceilings and floors, and bronze sculpted doors.

This interfaith chapel, located at Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg, Oregon, serves as a refuge for both patients and visitors. Created by converting and expanding a low-ceilinged clinic, its design employs simple finishes such as white plaster and hemlock for ceilings and walls and wood flooring

For this project we received a Merit Award for Liturgical Design from Faith and Form Journal and a Merit Award for Excellence in Design from AIA/IIDA.

  • Location: Roseburg, OR

    Size: 1,900 SF

    Natural light enters through a large stained-glass window to illuminate the altar and 15th-century Spanish crucifix, while sculpted bronze doors announce the entry.

    A shade garden shields the chapel from sun and noise and provides additional contemplative space.
