This church's gable-end sanctuary is flanked by a long parish wing and a stocky square tower. One of the area's few brushes with modernism, it boasts a steel frame and is faced with greenstone and precast-concrete panels. Vertical piers along the side walls conclude just above the roofline and give the effect of crenellations.
