The transformative qualities of this small chapel make it a uniquely powerful religious space. In the words of Father Thomas Krosnicki, SVD, spoken at the dedication sermon, "simple, plain-hearted materials of God's creation and man's invention form a three-dimensional parable. Its craftsmanship incarnates our Creator — and His Son, a carpenter." The jury was impressed with the chapel's straightforward use of plywood and two-by-fours. "The wood retains its lumberyard characteristics but is given new meaning through the way it's stacked and organized," the jurors said. They also commented that people could visit the chapel repeatedly and experience the space differently each time.
