The vision of the owner was to create a hub for perpetual Eucharistic adoration in their growing city in northeast Indiana. This oratory replaces a parish church that once stood in the cemetery. Razed several years ago, the original Romanesque Revival church served as precedent for some of the new forms and details.
The oratory seats 90 people. It offers a restroom for visitors and a small sacristy in its front curved oriels. The tower contains a bell from the original church. At the apse are 117 burial niches where remains of Christians surround the Eucharistic Presence in the Sanctuary.
The interior incorporates wood wainscoting, a pinwheel tile pattern in the central aisle tile floor, painted passages from the Song of Songs, and images from the Bible of the Poor.
