The  Catholic Church building always displays symbols and ornaments as an expression of religious (sacred) faith and atmosphere. Symbols in the form of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects arranged and beautified the church as well as religious significance. Symbols and ornaments are placed inside the church (interior) and outside the church (exterior), function to support the atmosphere of the church visually and help appreciate  aesthetic,  psychological  and  religious  faith.  Regina  Caeli  Catholic  Church  in  Pantai  Indah  Kapuk Jakarta is a Catholic church that is characterized by modern architecture and features symbols and ornaments on  the  interior  and  exterior  of  the  church.  This  paper  describes  the  existence  of  symbols  and  ornaments -symbols  in  the  church  associated  with  obedience  to  the  principles  of  modern  architecture  that  underlies  the design  of  the  church.  The  research  problem  is  how  the  existence  of  symbolic  symbols  and  ornaments  in  the Regina  Caeli  Catholic  Church,  which  are  modern-minimalist  architecture?  The  study  was  carried  out  by analyzing secondary data (photos and texts) and literature  studies, then compared with the basic guidelines of Catholic  church  architecture  and  the  principles  of  modern  architecture.  As  a  result,  Regina  Caeli's  Catholic Church architecture  is a modern architecture  with a modern-minimalist expression.
