The central theme of the building is the glory of God's creation. Nature themes predominate the stained glass and carvings. The pews, made of American walnut, were hand-carved by one gentleman. The work took seven years to complete. Up behind the pulpit is a stained glass Connick cross, a sister to the rose window in the rear of the church that is modeled after the one in Notre Dame. The sanctuary seats 900 people.
