The archbishop also placed incense in a bowl carried to the altar and as the curls rose in the church like prayers, women from the congregation wiped the altar with white cloths and brought in candles decorated with greenery and white ribbons. While a deacon lit candles around the altar and church, children carried forward baskets of white chrysanthemums and greens. A banner was unfurled behind the altar depicting Mary holding the church in her hands beside a stand of Georgia pine trees. The lights in the church went on and two longtime members of the parish, Marcella Glidewell and Connie Bagnetto, dressed the altar for the celebration of the Eucharist. The brick church has cream colored walls, a ceiling made of light wood and clear windows.
Colors are green tweed in the pew fabric and beige, rose and teal in the carpet.
Two stained glass windows near the entrance to the church were designed by Father Methodius, OCSO, at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers. Under a window depicting the Holy Spirit, the oils used in the sacraments of initiation, confirmation and the anointing of the sick will be placed. The other window, above a stand where the Word of God is opened and next to the reconciliation room, shows the brambles of sin, but the triumphant banner of the resurrection and Easter. A large processional cross was commissioned for the church with a risen Christ figure and a crucified Christ figure, each approximately seven feet in height. The same sculptor, Wiktor Szostalo, has been commissioned to make Stations of the Cross and a Marian statue.
