Chapel altar designed by Toym Imao of Marist Chapel fame

As designed by Toym Imao, this is how the altar of Twinville Chapel will look like. Work is ongoing so we can have a glimpse of its grandeur by the traditional "Simbang Gabi." 

Since our chapel is named after the Risen Christ, the altar has images of the Blessed Trinity: the Father (Eyes), the Son (face & hands), and the Holy Spirit (dove). The tabernacle will be shaped as a "host" aflame. Directly behind the tabernacle is a big black circular hole representing the cave/tomb where the Risen Christ emerged from. The altar table is shaped like a goblet with the surface having a small fountain and basin. There will be stained or cathedral glass (depending on budget).  A see-thru glass at the bottom shows the flowers and waterfalls behind the altar.

Imao also designed the altar of the Chapel of Marist School among others. He also does commissioned works for local government units and top corporations; and the present and past occupants of Malacanang Palace, e.g., Presidents Arroyo, Estrada, Ramos, Arroyo.

The altar of Marist Chapel was featured on the front pages of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Ganoon din kaya ang mangyari sa ating altar?

The Imao's are a family of artists, the patriarch being a national artist. Their studio is located at Torres Bugallon Street, Concepcion Uno (near OLOPSC).

Our project engineer for the chapel, Mar Rilles, is a top rate contractor who works fast and is highly efficient. A former resident of Twinville who grew up here as a child and teenager, Mar is the younger brother of Remy Sanchez of Milflores Street. He accepted the project on a volunteer basis but we deemed it appropriate for him to receive a monthly honorarium for his exemplary work and management.
