Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church, located in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, sought an affordable solution to meet the space, accessibility, and traffic flow needs of a growing parish. Noelker and Hull completed a feasibility study for a 3,630-square-foot church addition and 7,810 square foot renovation to the existing historic church and school facility.
Corpus Christi is the largest parish in Franklin County with more than 1,400 families, however their main church is a historic structure with a seating capacity of only 400. In addition to limited seating, other challenges included inadequate space for gathering, inconvenient locations for overflow seating and restroom facilities, as well as limited parking.
The new narthex creates a multipurpose space for gathering opportunities and parish ministry activities, provides a comfortable worship alternative for the needs of young families, and improves accessibility to the existing worship space. Extensive site work eliminated traffic bottlenecks and expanded parking opportunities.
In March 2020, the church held a “brick breaking” ceremony that kicked off project demolition. One year later, a ground breaking event was held to celebrate the start of construction and in June 2022, the new Narthex was dedicated.
A collaborative effort with general contractor Brechbill and Helman Construction, the completed project results in a beautiful and affordable solution that meets our client’s needs, now and into the future.
