During the construction phase of the building, the Church of
the Transfiguration retained the services of a liturgical musical
consultant who provided advise on the liturgical design of the
building as well as recommendations for acoustical elements. The
result is immediately recognized in the ambiance of holiness and
the rich quality of the sung Mass.
