* The façade is symmetrical and constructed primarily of red brick laid in a running bond pattern, giving a warm, traditional appearance. | |||
* A central projecting portico or canopy shelters the main double-door entrance, flanked by tall, narrow vertical stained-glass or clear glass panels that emphasize verticality and allow natural light into the nave. | |||
* The roof is low-pitched with a subtle gable or parapet, finished in dark asphalt shingles or built-up roofing material. | |||
* A modest metal cross rises from the central peak, serving as the principal exterior symbol of the church. | |||
* Side elevations feature large rectangular stained-glass windows (likely depicting biblical scenes or saints), set in simple brick frames, which provide ample daylight to the interior. | |||
* The overall style is functional Modern with subtle Gothic Revival influences (e.g., vertical window proportions, pointed-arch motifs in some window heads), reflecting the balance between tradition and economy typical of churches built in the Archdiocese of Newark during the 1950s–1970s. | |||
