Artistic Design

The architecture of the church is Baroque with Gothic arches. This type of architecture was very popular in the late 17th Century, and can be found in many churches built during the same era.

A unique feature of Holy Rosary within this architecture is the ceiling. The pillared arches join the rosettes surrounded by a blue background accented by a border of gold leaf roses. This scheme is symbolic of the colors of the Blessed Virgin and the Rosary. When the high pillar and vault light are one, one can truly appreciate the beauty above.

The ceiling of the sanctuary is decorated with pure gold Gothic floral motifs.
