“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.”

Revelation 5:12

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Serving you as pastor for four years has been my joy and privilege. I love being part of our St. John family, whose roots go back to 1902 when we were just a tiny mission church founded by the Redemptorist Fathers from Annapolis. Since 1964, we have worshipped in our current church. Over the years, parishioners have desired to renovate and refurbish the church. Pastors have studied various plans before me, and capital campaigns have sought to raise money for this goal.

Now, building on what has come before, it is a blessing to share with you a comprehensive vision for the renovation of our church. More than just changes to the pews or the lighting, it is a design whose goal is to introduce beautiful sacred art and decorative elements into the church, bringing a greater focus to the Lord whom we worship and connecting us more deeply to our patron, St. John. In the new design, our connection to St. John becomes more visible through sacred art drawn from the Scriptures he was inspired to write. While the design introduces new elements, it respects the original architectural intent, maintaining our church’s prayerful and inviting warmth.

Central to the design and artwork will be a shallow dome installed above the main altar. It features a mural of Jesus, depicted as the victorious Lamb of God, worshipped by the angels and saints who cry out: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.” The image is taken from the Book of Revelation Chapter 5, where St. John is given a vision of what is happening in heaven. Placed above the main altar, the muraled dome visibly reminds us that at every Mass, we participate in the worship of heaven through the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

As we look to make this beautiful renovation a reality, I invite you to consider the song of the angels and saints in Heaven: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.” The Lord Jesus is truly worthy of our worship. He is worthy of the best we can offer Him. Our dramatic renovation plan reflects that truth, offering Jesus the best of sacred art, painting, marble, and woodwork in our house of worship.

I pray you will join me in boldly offering the best of our gifts to make this renovation a reality.

May God bless you,


Rev. Erik Arnold

From Fr. Erik …

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Serving you as pastor for four years has been my joy and privilege. I love being part of our St. John family, whose roots go back to 1902 when we were just a tiny mission church founded by the Redemptorist Fathers from Annapolis. Since 1964, we have worshipped in our current church. Over the years, parishioners have desired to renovate and refurbish the church. Pastors have studied various plans before me, and capital campaigns have sought to raise money for this goal…

  • Now, building on what has come before, it is my great honor to share with you a comprehensive vision for the renovation of our church. More than just changes to the pews or the lighting, it is a design whose goal is to introduce beautiful sacred art and decorative elements into the church, bringing a greater focus to the Lord whom we worship and connecting us more deeply to our patron, St. John. In the new design, our connection to St. John becomes more visible through sacred art drawn from the Scriptures he was inspired to write. While the design introduces new elements, it respects the original architectural intent, maintaining our church’s prayerful and inviting warmth.

    Central to the design and artwork will be a shallow dome installed above the main altar. It features a mural of Jesus, depicted as the victorious Lamb of God, worshipped by the angels and saints who cry out: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.” The image is taken from the Book of Revelation Chapter 5, where St. John is given a vision of what is happening in heaven.

    I pray you will join me in boldly offering the best of our gifts to make this renovation a reality.

    May God bless you,

Our Vision

The vision for our church renovation is to introduce beautiful sacred art inspired by the Scripture writings of St. John to lead us closer to God in prayer and worship and connect us more deeply with our patron saint.

Our renovation will also address a number of aging mechanical and electrical systems in the church that are in desperate need of replacement.

How will we achieve our vision?

Working with Conrad Schmitt Studios (New Berlin, WI) and St. Jude Liturgical Arts Studio (Philadelphia, PA), we are taking some of the most beloved and well-known Scripture verses from the writings of St. John and incorporating them into the sacred art and liturgical elements that will renew and transform the interior of our parish church.

  • The reredos is a large altarpiece or decorative screen placed behind the altar in a church, often containing sacred art. The reredos visually anchors the sanctuary, bringing greater focus to the altar and tabernacle. 

    Through the medium of sacred painting, on three separate panels, our new reredos will bring to life the moving scene of Christ’s crucifixion from the Gospel of John:

    “When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, behold, your son.’ Then he said to the disciple, ‘Behold, your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.” (John 19:26-27)

    The central panel of the reredos will be the image of Christ crucified. This beautiful hand-painted image will focus our eyes on the great work of salvation: Jesus offering his life in sacrifice for us. The image of Christ on the Cross will sit behind the altar, visually reminding us that the sacrifice of the Mass offered on the altar is the same sacrifice and offering of Jesus on the Cross.

    The left panel of the reredos is a hand-painted image of the Blessed Virgin Mary standing in sorrow at the foot of the Cross, looking up at her Son. Jesus has just entrusted Mary to John, the Beloved Disciple, who is depicted in the right panel of the reredos.

    Although physically separate from the panel depicting the Crucifixion, the panels form a whole through the consistent background, colors, and mood employed by the artist. Taken together, the panels bring to life John 19:26-27, a moving scene that is only found in the Gospel of John, our parish patron.

  • The Prologue of the Gospel of John (John 1:1-18) is a magnificent hymn in praise of Christ. In these poetic verses, John declares the most essential truths about Jesus before opening up the whole story.

    Three of these truths will be inscribed into the new liturgical elements found in the church sanctuary:

    “In the beginning was the Word” (John 1:1, inscribed on the ambo)“And the Word became Flesh” (John 1:14a, inscribed on the altar)“And dwelt among us” (John 1:14b, inscribed on the tabernacle table)

    These three truths are still a reality for us at every Mass:

    1. Jesus the Word speaks to us through the Scripture readings.

    2. He takes on flesh as he changes bread and wine into his Body and Blood.

    3. He continues to dwell with us in his Real Presence, remaining present in the tabernacle.

    These three truths will be decoratively inscribed into the front of the ambo, altar, and tabernacle table to remind us and make visible at every Mass the reality that we are so blessed to experience.

  • The entire renovation will benefit from this approach that incorporates sacred art and Scripture. From the new Blessed Virgin Mary Shrine that will contain the words of Jesus: “Behold your Mother” (John 19:27) to the new baptismal font with St. John’s declaration: “See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God” (1 John 3:1), we are working to make the vision a beautiful reality in our new church.

Upgrading and Replacing Our Aging Mechanical Systems

Our vision for the church renovation is not just cosmetic but includes a substantial investment in various mechanical and electrical systems to secure the long-term future of our church building.

As good stewards of what has been entrusted to us, we want to provide the next generation with a building that is not only beautiful, but equipped and ready to serve our parish for decades to come. The aging heating and air conditioning systems, the original lighting system and electrical panels, and the lack of insulation in the roofing will all be addressed as part of our vision to improve the often hidden but essential elements of our church.

The Design

Dome and Decorative Mural

A shallow decorative dome will be installed above the main altar to bring a new focus and emphasis to the sanctuary. The dome and its hand-painted mural will lift our eyes heavenward each time we gather to celebrate Mass. It will be one of the most central and visible elements of our renovation.

The hand-painted mural in the dome will depict St. John’s vision of heavenly worship, found in Chapter 5 of the Book of Revelation. John sees Jesus, the victorious Lamb, who alone can accomplish the work of our Redemption, which is symbolized by his opening of the book containing God’s plan of salvation. 

Surrounding the Lamb are St. John and the saints and angels in worship crying out in song: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.” (Revelation 5:12) The image, located directly above the main altar, will remind us that in every Mass we enter into the worship of Heaven through the Sacrament of the Eucharist. The Scripture verse from Revelation 5:12 will be painted into the interior of the dome molding, inviting us to share in their worship each time we participate in Mass.

Mary and John at the Foot of the Cross

Altar, Ambo, and Tabernacle Table

The altar is the focal point for the church sanctuary and the celebration of the Mass, occupying the most central position. The beautiful design of our new altar will match the new reredos behind it. It will be handcrafted out of Botticino marble, truly worthy of the celebration of the Mass. 

The altar will be inset with simple mosaics depicting the Cross and the Chi Rho. The Chi Rho is an ancient symbol formed from the Greek letters X (chi) and P (rho), the first two letters of the word “Christ” in Greek.

Above the mosaic insets, the altar will be inscribed with a verse from the Prologue of the Gospel of John: And The Word Was Made Flesh / Et Verbum Caro Factum Est. (John 1:14) Here on the altar, at every Mass, the Word becomes flesh as Jesus changes bread and wine into his Body and Blood.

The ambo is the noble place from which God’s Word is proclaimed at every Mass. The new ambo will be constructed out of Botticino marble to match the design of the new reredos and the altar of sacrifice. A simple inset mosaic Cross will adorn the center. The ambo will bear an inscription containing the opening verse of St. John’s Gospel: In Principio Erat Verbum / In The Beginning Was The Word (John 1:1). The inscription reminds us that God speaks to us even now at every Mass, and it connects us with the first inspired words written by our patron St. John. 

The tabernacle will rest atop a new marble pedestal whose design will complement the new altar. The marble pedestal will be inscribed with a verse from the Prologue of John’s Gospel that completes the inscriptions found on the new ambo and altar. On the ambo and altar, respectively, are the verses In The Beginning Was The Word / And The Word Was Made Flesh. And on the tabernacle pedestal will be inscribed Et Habitavit In Nobis / And Dwelt Among Us (John 1:14). The inscription makes visible, through the writings of St. John, our belief in Jesus’ Real Presence, that he truly makes his dwelling among us and remains with us in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.

The inscription reminds us that God speaks to us even now at every Mass, and it connects us with the first inspired words written by our patron St. John. 

The tabernacle will rest atop a new marble pedestal whose design will complement the new altar. The marble pedestal will be inscribed with a Latin verse from the Prologue of John’s Gospel that completes the inscriptions found on the new ambo and altar. On the ambo and altar, respectively, are the verses In The Beginning Was The Word / And The Word Was Made Flesh. And on the tabernacle pedestal will be inscribed And Dwelt Among Us / Et Habitavit In Nobis (John 1:14). The inscription makes visible, through the writings of St. John, our belief in Jesus’ Real Presence, that he truly makes his dwelling among us and remains with us in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.

Decorative Coffered Ceiling

Coffered ceilings are a classic architectural detail consisting of a series of rectangular or square grids in three-dimensional recessed panels. The blue-colored ceiling with stenciled crossbeams invites the eyes upward, bringing a heavenly element into the design that complements the new dome and the mural, whose image is taken from the Book of Revelation.

The coffered ceiling will replace the original asbestos ceiling that is being removed as part of our renovation work.

Renovated Shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Our beautiful statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary will receive a newly renovated shrine to house it, remaining the focal point of our devotion to the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. 

The statue of Our Lady will receive new prominence as it is placed atop a pedestal resting on a new marble altar, which will be crafted to echo the design of the new main altar. A three-panel reredos will be installed behind the statue to bring greater focus to the image as the faithful express their devotion to our Blessed Mother.

Continuing our theme of introducing Scripture verses drawn from our patron, St. John, a painted inscription above the reredos will declare the words of Jesus from the Gospel of John: “Behold Your Mother.” (John 19:27)
