RuckPate’s relationship with St. Anne Parish began in 1995, when we were asked to assist the parish in obtaining street vacancies to allow the church to pursue expansion options. In January, 1996 RuckPate conducted Facility Utilization studies, followed by a Needs Analysis in August. At about this time, John Buscemi was engaged as the Liturgical Design Consultant for the parish, and began the process of dreaming and defining the needs, values, and treasures of the St. Anne Community.

Lead architect RuckPate and YHR Partners jointly facilitated a comprehensive master plan. When the parish made the decision to fund and build the entire master plan, the two firms proceeded to design a complete campus which was completed in April 2000. The project required exceptional creativity due to the restricted site which was surrounded by homes in the old center of Barrington.

Project Highlights:

•  New Sanctuary seating 1300
•  Fully restored Daily Mass Chapel for 160

   with Parish's identity and tradition
