The 30,000 square feet church is one of the Archdiocese of Miami’s “greenest” church facilities, keeping in mind Pope Francis’ encyclical ‘Laudato Si’ on the care of the environment.
The church was built implementing a number of sustainable initiatives including: using materials with high recycle content and energy efficient roofing.
The church’s structure, which can be seen from Florida’s Turnpike, was built in the shape of a cross and the chapel adjacent to it with a womb-like shape.
The church also features a 26 feet tall mosaic of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the exterior of the structure which was created in the city of Pietra Santa, Italy using traditional Venetian techniques, and a marble statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe by local artist Nilda Comas.
The new church building of Our Lady of Guadalupe is located at 11691 NW 25 Street, Doral FL.
