About Coppell, Texas:
Part of the growing Dallas/Fort Worth “Metroplex”, Coppell had a population of 42,983 as of the 2020 census, having grown from a mere 1,728 residents in 1970 . Coppell Independent School District (CISD), with its excellent reputation, is a major draw for families prioritizing education. Many residents work in North Texas’s growing technology sectors, making suburbia close to Dallas attractive. In addition, Coppell offers excellent access to DFW International Airport and major corporate centers.
Many families move to the area to be with family already established there; often referred to as “chain migration”, creating a strong, supportive, and growing community. The presence of South Asian grocery stores, restaurants, and places of worship in the North Texas area helps families maintain their heritage, making it a preferred location for Asian immigrants.
About Saint Ann Catholic Parish in Coppell, Texas:
Saint Ann Catholic Parish in Coppell underwent renovations in 2026.
As stated on their website:
Classical and medieval aesthetics, such as philosophers like Thomas Aquinas believed that the three transcendentals (truth, beauty, and goodness) are universal attributes of all being that ultimately reflect the nature of God.
They understood that God chooses to elevate us to intimately experience Him in divine life through experiencing these three transcendentals in the world around us. Early cathedral builders, inspired by these ideas, often designed churches to reflect the three transcendentals. They found that the three elements that were necessary in order to make a church beautiful were harmony, integrity, and radiance.
Note:the renovations are now complete. Below is the statement put out at the beginning of the renovations:
The renovated St. Ann Parish will beautifully express these three elements of harmony, integrity, and radiance, allowing it to not only become a home fit for a King but also become a place where we can come to intimately know God.
The renovations will feature stunning “Trompe l’œil” (Trick the Eye) architecture. This artistic technique, known for its ability to create the illusion of depth and expansiveness, will elevate the beauty of our church and draw our hearts and minds toward the divine. Trompe l’œil is a French word that means “fool the eye,” which cleverly aids in pointing the viewer beyond the material world to spiritual realities. In sacred spaces, Trompe l’œil was often used to depict heavenly scenes, such as angels, saints, or the glory of God, reminding the viewer of the truths of faith and the unseen spiritual realm. This form of art can create a unified aesthetic where painted details blend seamlessly with the physical architecture, fostering harmony, radiance, and a sense of divine order, revealing integrity.
The New Tabernacle features intricate, gold-plated detailing with touches of red accents and is crafted by King Richard’s Liturgical Design and Contracting. The tabernacle is perfectly cradled by a massive 20-foot hand-crafted wooden reredos, flanked by beautiful custom statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Ann.

When parishioners and visitors walk into St. Ann Parish, the hope is that contemplation of the three elements of harmony, integrity, and radiance in the physical church will allow them to experience Truth, Beauty, and Goodness—drawing them deeper into connection with God.
Personally, we think the Antes (before) was pretty good in itself when compared to many modern architectural efforts, but certainly the después (After) results are truly inspiring.
