Administrators at Ave Maria University, the country's first new Roman Catholic university in four decades, outlined plans Wednesday to build a bold campus that would include one of the nation's largest Catholic churches and crucifixes.
snip- Officials said the oratory would be the largest fixed-seating Catholic church in the nation, holding capacity for 3,333 to 3,500 congregants. Embedded into its front facade would be a 65-foot red-tinted glass cross with a 40-foot corpus, or body of Christ.
Monaghan, the founder of Domino's Pizza and former owner of the Detroit Tigers, said the church would be the center of the university and "the very thing that reminds us of what we're about," symbolizing the campus "like the Golden Dome is the symbol of Notre Dame."
I find it interesting that Monaghan would want to build the world's largest crucifix in two locations. See: Monaghan proposes world's largest crucifix---Detroit News
