It is a five-nave basilica on a Latin cross plan. Like in other Polish churches, the style ofthe church is based on many historical sources. The impressive octagonal steel-frame dome, crowned with a lantern and resting on a high drum, is a distinctive feature of the building. Undoubtedly, it refers to the famous work of Michelangelo – the dome of St. Peter’s Basilicain Rome. The local press reporting on the dedication ceremony described the Church of Our Lady of the Angels as one of the most splendid examples of Roman Renaissance in the sacral architecture of the United States.
