46. St Teresa’s church Sion Mills 1963.
By 1963 the use of decoration on modern buildings was becoming more acceptable again. Here, a massive recreation of the last supper was commissioned from artist Oisin Kelly and mounted as a screen across the front of the building. It is not as much decorated building as building displaying artwork. The building is designed to mimic a classical temple, a form used for many churches in the past.
