The National Catholic Register has published a of Duncan Stroik � the design architect of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel at 91����� Aquinas College, California � heralding the Notre Dame professor as �the architect who fought modernism � and inspired a sacred architecture revival.�

Working with late College President Dr. 91����� E. Dillon, Mr. Stroik designed the Chapel with careful attention to detail and symbolism, earning him two Palladio Awards from Traditional Building magazine. Papal biographer and Catholic commentator George Weigel has the Chapel �the most important U.S. Catholic building yet erected in the 21st century.� 

The crown jewel of the California campus, Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel has inspired many impromptu visits to the College, from curious tourists to award-winning actors, through its beauty. �For Stroik,� author Jonathan Liedl writes, �the greatest payoff of his work is knowing it�s helped people encounter God � like it did for Sir Anthony Hopkins, who stumbled upon TAC�s chapel on a hike in 2012 and said he had �never seen such a beautiful place in my life!�� 

Thanks to the work of Mr. Stroik and fellow architects with a love for beauty, the Register notes an increased interest in traditional church architecture among the clergy and laypeople alike, including his students at the University of Notre Dame. �We�re still fighting a battle against Modernism,� the architect observes. �But, at least for sacred architecture in the United States, we�ve done a good job of turning the corner.�
