All Souls Catholic Church

Following years of dedication and planning, the new All Souls Catholic Church represents the first phase of a long-term vision for the growing Catholic community of Seminole County. The 1,400-seat church emulates the Spanish Mission style featuring architectural details that reinforce the ‘old world’ charm of historic European cathedrals. Exterior elements of textured stucco siding, red clay roof tiles and a sixty-foot bell tower portray rustic qualities characteristic of the Mediterranean and Spanish influences of Mission and Spanish Colonial architecture. Interiors feature elaborate, detailed materials and finishes, such as heavy wood timbers and solid oak finishes, veneer plaster walls, stained glass windows and ceramic tile flooring. Chandeliers and decorative mounted luminaries create a theatrical setting throughout the sanctuary. While traditional in aesthetics and architectural detail, the use of modern structural steel provides flexibility and strength to create expansive open framing allowing the perception of vastness found in traditional cathedrals. Future development of the 63-acre tract includes a parish church, elementary school and regional Catholic High School.
