King Richard’s Provides New Sanctuary Pieces and Restoration for St. Rose of Lima Church in Denison Iowa.

St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church underwent a full sanctuary renovation in partnership with King Richard’s Liturgical Design and Contracting. The project introduced a wide range of newly crafted liturgical elements, including altar rails with gates, a wooden reredos, an altar panel for the Altar or Sacrifice, a granite baptismal font, three statues, and custom pedestals for two new statues and the church’s existing statuary. The renovation also included updating the church’s seating with pew upholstery, along with new upholstery for the altar rail and clergy chairs.

The Reredos

The reredos was crafted from premium wood and hand‑carved to the client’s specifications. It features a rich mahogany‑brown finish and is embellished with gold Alpha and Omega symbols. The Last Supper panel was also incorporated into the design from the church’s existing church collection. Our installation team then carefully assembled the completed reredos on site.

The ALTAR RAIL

The Altar Rail was crafted from the finest wood and finished with a granite top. Upholstered padding was installed beneath the rail to provide comfort while receiving the Eucharist. The Altar Gates were fashioned from the same wood and accented with gold paint to complement the reredos.

ALTAR PANEL

The Altar Panel, designed specifically for the Altar of Sacrifice features a granite centerpiece framed in rich wood. It is beautifully embellished with the Lamb of God symbol. It was installed carefully by the King Richard’s Installation Team and placed in front of the reredos. 

The Baptisimal Font
The baptismal font is crafted from the same granite as the Altar of Sacrifice and features a stainless steel water basin at its center. Positioned in the sanctuary’s entryway, it serves as a symbolic and welcoming element for worshippers.
STATUARY and Pedestals
King Richard’s crafted three exquisite statues for the sanctuary: the Sacred Heart of Jesus as the centerpiece of the reredos, along with statues of St. Ann and St. Boniface. Each statue was placed on a custom pedestal, also designed and built by King Richard’s. In addition, four additional pedestals were created to display the church’s existing statuary.
SACRED HEART OF JESUS
The Sacred Heart of Jesus statue was hand-carved from the finest wood and adorned with delicate, lifelike detail. Each brushstroke of paint was applied with care to honor the traditional and sacred representation of the Sacred Heart, inviting devotion and reflection.
St. Ann and St. Boniface Statues and Pedestals
The statues of St. Ann and St. Boniface were likewise exquisitely hand-carved from the finest wood and painted with great care to capture their sacred likenesses, reflecting both devotion and artistry in every detail. Their pedestals, designed by King Richard’s, were finished to complement the reredos, altar rail, and other liturgical furnishings within the sanctuary. Elevating these holy figures alongside the church’s existing statuary creates a harmonious display.
Pedestals for Church’s Existing Statuary

King Richard’s fabricated a total of six custom pedestals for the existing statues at St. Rose of Lima. Two wall‑mounted pedestals were designed to elevate the statues of St. Boniface and St. Ann, while two additional matching pedestals were built to support the church’s other existing figures. In addition, two larger triangular pedestals were crafted to fit seamlessly into the rear corners of the church, providing a stable and elegant base for the parish’s larger statues.

UPHOLSTERY
The clergy chairs and front pews were upholstered in a rich blue fabric, harmonizing with the altar rail kneeling area. This thoughtful design not only creates visual unity within the sanctuary but also provides comfort for those in prayer and worship.
