Saint Laurent Church

Bourg d’Oisans

When the architect Martin Bacot inaugurated this church's superb Resurrection organ in October 2015, he expressed the wish that suitable furniture could one day complete it. The instrument, musically and aesthetically exceptional, is an extraordinary gift from a parishioner in memory of his late wife.

Liturgical furniture

Fleur Nabert was then contacted to create a liturgical ensemble and, with the help of the cabinetmaker Bruno de Maistre, created an ensemble in American maple wood with highlights of gold leaf and silver.

On the altar radiates La Croix. It is that of the Passion but already illuminated with the gold of the Resurrection. On the ambo the holy spirit is represented. By reading and listening to the Word of God, he dispenses his gifts. A sober and dignified presidency set is a reminder that the priest celebrates in persona Christi.

Finally, the tabernacle is adorned with a radiant image of the Eucharist and the flame of the red lamp indicates the real presence of the Blessed Sacrament.

Leading us to pray

This furniture, inspired by the organ, hopes to lead to prayer by its purity and clarity and to allow the liturgy to be celebrated in beauty and joy.
