"... the new St. Mary's dignifies a historic plot
of ground and pulls together a diverse assortment of buildings .... The
considerable height of the new structure is perfectly calculated to be
dominant but not domineering ... the clerestory reinforces a sacred axis
encompassing symbols of death and rebirth .... It's an unpretentious yet
subtly dramatic space...."
