The tabernacle of the Marylake Augustinians, near Ontario. It looks more like a piece of scenery from Star Trek which was never even used for filming.
Weighs two and a half tons. It is made of travertine marble and was sculpted by Mr. Earl Neiman
who also fashioned the celebrants chair and lectern in the same material. His wife, Maria, executed the bronze crucifix, candleholders and sanctuary lamp, as well as the terra-cotta stations of the cross.
The church itself looks rather more like Starfleet Command than a church.
Update- when I wrote the above comment, I had not actually checked what Starfleet Command looked like. Many a true word spoken in jest.
