Oh, you haven't seen the best part. Mass is every day at 7. They managed to position the church (whether they used grace or geometry to do this, I'm not sure and they aren't telling) so that the sun bursts through the rose window behind the reredos right around at the consecration during the Easter season.
When the sun lights up all that gold with the priest elevating the Blessed Sacrament at Mass ... well, let's just say you understand how Peter felt at the Transfiguration ... "Lord, it is good for us to be here ... let us build two booths ..."
You gotta go for a visit. Everyone should.

That shouldn't be too hard to do. We know the sun is going to rise a little north of east at Easter. We can work out the angle for the latitude of the Church, then it's just a matter of designing in a month's worth of slack.
I designed, but never built, a sheep barn where the sun reached all a cross the floor in winter but nearly then entire floor was in shade for most of the summer. (The south wall was going to be fabric and there was an overhang.) All you need is an architect who cares about beauty and who has a little skill at his racket.
