Komunitní centrum svatého Prokopa, Catholic church building in Stodůlky, Czech Republic
Komunitní centrum svatého Prokopa is a Catholic church building with an oval floor plan and blue exterior walls that stands out for its distinctive geometric design. The structure combines the main sanctuary with a chapel seating 100 people and several multipurpose rooms connected by folding walls for flexible use.
The foundation stone was consecrated in 1999 by Pope John Paul II and the completed building was inaugurated in 2001 by Archbishop Miloslav Vlk. The project emerged from the Congregation's vision of combining worship space with modern community facilities.
The French Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament sisters shaped this space as a community hub that goes far beyond a simple place of worship. People gather here for services, classes, and shared events, making the building a focal point for the neighborhood.
The site is easy to access and the spaces are arranged for different types of gatherings and activities. Visitors should note that the facilities are designed for both religious services and secular events.
The oval shape without a clear center symbolizes the intellectual complexity of faith and differs fundamentally from traditional church designs. The rectangular service wing attached to the side deliberately emphasizes the practical dimensions of daily life.
