Rohn & Associates Design

For centuries, artists have placed their artistry and craftsmanship at the service of the Catholic Church, creating works that become part of the faith and worship of a parish. We believe that tradition is worth preserving. That means continuing to value the skill of those who can take a pencil to paper and thoughtfully develop a vision for sacred art, while collaborating closely with priests and parishes to bring their hopes for the church to life. It is something we are honored to continue.

This beautiful ambo has been waiting quietly for the place it was meant to serve.

Carved in two complementary shades of Italian marble, the pulpit features the traditional symbols of the Four Evangelists: the winged man of St. Matthew, the lion of St. Mark, the ox of St. Luke, and the eagle of St. John. These ancient symbols represent the four Gospel accounts and the particular witness each Evangelist gives to Christ.

There is something inspiring about seeing a parish imagine what its church can become. These early mural sketches begin that conversation, translating faith and devotion into visions for custom Catholic church murals. From the first pencil lines to the finished sanctuary, each concept begins with a parish’s desire to give greater beauty to the worship of God. We are privileged to help bring those visions to life, creating artwork that strengthens the connection between a parish, its faith, and the place where generations come together to worship.

We are grateful to see the restoration and sacred artwork at St. Joseph Catholic Church captured in these wonderful photographs. This historic church is a special place of worship, and we are honored to have played a part in its renewal.

Another sanctuary vision is taking shape in the studio, with every detail considered in relation to the Catholic faith and the liturgy. The Crucifix and Holy Trinity draw the eye toward the spiritual heart of the sanctuary, while angels, saints, and sacred artwork express the richness of the Catholic faith. “Ecce Agnus Dei”—“Behold the Lamb of God”—appears above the tabernacle, directing attention to Christ present in the Eucharist. The altar and ambo feature additional saint imagery, joined by custom side shrine statues, a tabernacle and stand, and sanctuary seating.

Summer may be winding down, but this is often when the next chapter for a parish begins to take shape. What could your sanctuary say about the faith you want to hand on to your parishioners?

This artistic vision brings the space together around Christ: God the Father above, angels adoring the Crucifix, the Pelicanus on the tabernacle, and custom side shrine murals, each with its own place within the greater story of the Church.

At the Basilica of St. Mary of the Assumption in Marietta, Ohio, we created these miniature Carrara marble statues of contemporary saints for the baptismal font, including St. John the Baptist. Gathered around the font, the saints connect Baptism with the communion of the Church and the lives of those who have gone before us in faith.

The same white marble was used for the miniature figures of Christ and the Twelve Apostles on the Italian marble altar, tying the baptismal font and altar together. These details are an important part of Catholic sacred art, helping parishioners see the Faith expressed throughout the church and the relationship between its sacraments, saints, and sacred art.

We recently came across this extraordinary black-and-white visionary sketch in our archives by the esteemed liturgical artist Rudolph N. Rohn. Jesus Christ stands at the center, with God the Father above, surrounded by scenes from pivotal moments in Catholic Church history: the First Council of Nicaea in 325, the East–West Schism of 1054, the Council of Florence and its efforts toward reunion in 1438–1439, and the historic 1965 declaration of Pope Paul VI and Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I lifting the mutual excommunications of 1054.

What makes this image so powerful is the way it places Christ at the heart of the Church’s long journey toward unity. For Catholics, these moments are not simply events of the past. They remind us of the enduring call to remain one in Christ and to pray and work together for the Church. It is a beautiful example of how Catholic sacred art and Catholic church murals can bring faith, history, and hope into a powerful visual expression.

There is nothing more rewarding than working with a parish to bring its vision for a sacred space to life. We listen to the pastor and parish community, understand their theological vision, and develop those ideas from the initial concept through the finished sanctuary, custom sacred art, and liturgical furnishings. The result is a Catholic worship space that reflects the faith, identity, and traditions of each parish.
