Lenz was not an architect, but for years had dealt with the architectural concept of the "perfect church". The ideal would achieve the highest level of excellence based on a collective collaboration of the artists involved.

In many ways, Lenz's ideal church was modeled on the Jerusalem Temple. It had to stand on sacred ground.The temple is a human work, but the land on which it stands is from God. The church courtyard, the profanum, was the place for learning, contemplating, and meditating because Lenz was of the belief that man is not always able to pray and that without prayer one was not properly prepared to enter the sacred ground.

As in Jerusalem, two columns in the courtyard symbolize two trees in paradise, the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. Here Lenz depicted, in pictures and words, the history of the Israelites as told in the Old Testament - from the original sin, the Tower of Babel, Abraham, and so on.

A large statue of the Virgin Mary stands in the center of the courtyard surrounded by statues of ten female figures from the Old Testament. Lenz had in mind that Judaism has brought us Mary, who gave us Christ, and therefore in the next area shows the time in which Christ became a man. This area served to educate with paintings from the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, that is, the New Testament.

The third area is raised, ascending up stairs, before the pillar stand the Twelve Apostles. Beyond the elevated altar in the presbytery are figures of priests, and above them hover angels around the Stations of the Cross and a mural of the Crucifixion covering the entire wall behind the altar.

From here a corridor lined on both sides with angels leads into the rotunda which also serves as the Sanctuary. The paintings in the rotunda were to symbolize the proclamation of God's Word as celebrated in the Holy Mass - Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to people of good will ...
