Church of the Holy Family in Poznań

Church of the Holy Family in Poznań, Church building in Osiedle Mikołaja Kopernika, Poland.

The Church of the Holy Family stands at Promienista 131, between the Kopernik housing estate and Raszyn. Its circular plan, oval and spiral forms, and dome with skylights evoke an astronomical observatory, echoing the estate's street names honouring Kepler, Newton and Galileo. A 47-metre tower is topped by a cross on a blue-grey sphere, and a curved wall runs along Promienista to Newton Street.

The parish was erected on 12 December 1984, after Archbishop Jerzy Stroba approved the title Holy Family in 1981 and Pope John Paul II blessed the cornerstone on 20 June 1983. Construction began in 1985, the church was consecrated in 1992, and the finished building was handed over in 2009. A pipe organ was built in 2003–2004 and a chapel of adoration added in 2007.

The parish was erected on 12 December 1984, and until then residents of the Kopernika estate belonged to the Górczyn parish. The first parish priest was Father Czesław Ksoń. The interior follows an astronomical theme: the nave vault is covered by Jacek Korpanty's blue-and-white fresco of the cosmos, and rocket-shaped lamps hang beneath it.

The church stands at ulica Promienista 131, between the Mikołaja Kopernika housing estate and the Raszyn district, on the central axis of the estate. A curved wall runs along Promienista up to ulica Newtona, separating the church grounds from the busy road; the entrance gate to the grounds is on Newtona. The 47-metre tower topped by a cross on a blue-grey sphere serves as a landmark for orientation.

The 47-metre tower is crowned by a cross fixed to a blue-grey sphere, and the circular dome with skylights makes the church resemble an astronomical observatory — a nod to the Kopernik estate's astronomical street names (Keplera, Newtona, Galileusza).
