“Beauty will save the world”

-Dostoevsky

My work is fueled by a passion for beautifying sacred spaces to aesthetically correspond to the holiness of what happens during the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass. The motto “excellence in carpentry for the greater glory of God” captures the essence of my work.

I specialize in designing and constructing high quality liturgical furnishings with an emphasis on tradition. All of my work is built from scratch, and all of the ornamentation is carefully hand-carved using chisel and mallet.

John Hayden is an artist and craftsman based in Kalispell MT. He is passionate about carpentry and has a Masters in Theology from the International Theological Institute. Combining the two disciplines in the creation of liturgical furnishings brings to fruition a deep love for beauty and the rich artistic heritage of the Church.
