"The church is a place of assembly, and non-combustible material
is a mandatory necessity and owner's benefit," Corne said. "Metal

interior framing is used throughout for walls and ceilings. The only
wood used is for the doors and support blocking for wall-hung accessories. This building is designed to last centuries while obtaining a
fire-resistant rating, minimizing insurance costs, and creating low
maintenance costs."
Delahoussaye Co. installed: 20-gauge, 3 5/8-in. Flex-C Trac;
20-gauge, 2 1/2-in. Flex-C Arch; 20-gauge, 3 5/8-in. Flex-C Arch; and
20-gauge, 6-in. Flex-C Arch, all supplied through Interior Exterior
Building Supply, Lafayette.
Flex-C Arch was used at the arched and circular windows and to
create arches between the columns, as well as the arched and circular
windows. It can be seen over the main altar and above the altar in the
Adoration Chapel. Large arches were created at the exterior and front
entrances of the church and for curved 18-ft. heads of three monumental wooden oil-finished door enclosures below the balcony.
Flex-C Trac was used on the radius walls in the apse and music rooms.
J.B. Mouton LLC, Lafayette, served as the general contractor.
Timing and scheduling were important to stay ahead of the other
trades involved in the massive project. Danny Delahoussaye, president of the installation company, said, "The reasons we used
Flex-Ability Concepts' products are we can lock it in place before we
install it and it was best for our application."
The $19-million church opened in October 2017 and includes
34,000 sq. ft. with seating for 900. The space includes a chapel within
the bell tower, children's area, bride's room, two cry rooms, and
restrooms. The atrium was designed to bring the community together
