The new infrastructure includes the rectory with three bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, office, laundry, toilets and garage. Also part of it is the auditorium for 150 people, dressing room, storage room and bar,  plus four breakout rooms to teach catechesis. These spaces were constructed to be well integrated with the architecture of the church, dating from the fifteenth century.
