Cardinal Glemp chooses design for church 200 years after plan first presented

Primate of Poland Cardinal Jozef Glemp announced on Sunday that he has chosen the design for the Swiatynia Opatrznosci Bozej (Sanctuary of God's Providence) church to be constructed at Wilanow on the outskirts of Warsaw. The design chosen by Glemp was drawn up by a team of architects led by Wojciech and Lech Szymborscy. A computer visualization of the new church will be presented tomorrow, after some final corrections are completed. The idea for the church is over 200 years old, and calls for it to be built were renewed after 1989. The church will seat 1,500 people and the project will cost some zl.100 million.
