Without question, an improvement. Looks RC. Nicely done though I've never been a fan of the hovering crucifix, however, this is cohesive and beautiful. They still suffer from the problem many of these post modern structures have, awkward roofline and very cramped sanctuaries. Nonetheless, the environment itself is vastly improved.

Here's an overhead view where street view affords a look at the physical plant. Like many parishes/institutions, its evolved over time with additions that create a micro-version of sprawl. I'm glad I'm not responsible for maintenance of these structures with so many rooflines that can potentially leak, endless turns and window variations etc.
