So, on spacious grounds donated by the Cazzaniga family, a pastoral center was built auxiliary to the main parish of Saint Bartholomew.
At first, the community gathered in a large hall where all the sacred vessels were placed and which was perceived by the faithful more and more like a real church.
French sculptor Marie-Michèle Poncet was assigned to realize its main décor such ambon, altar, tabernacle and baptistery.
The artist created her works in pink marble from Portugal; its formal and chromatic characteristics combined harmoniously with the red-green macchiavecchia, a precious material from Switzerland, widely used in Ambrosian churches and for this chancel.
She placed then, at the center of the altar, a cross that appears between two bearing blocks of marble and represents the creation, as well as the origin and core of life.
