Treasures Being Discovered At St. Mary
Ms. Donell Hill and her assistants have been diligently at work uncovering and recreating the stenciling originally surrounding the side altars of Mary and Joseph. Several weeks were spent scraping away the layers of paint of many years to reveal the riginal colors and the location of the stencil. The 1935 photo by Fr. Elmendorf served as a guide, but gave no indication of the vibrant olors used by the original artist. With the discovery of the colors and the mapping of the stencil itself, recreating the artwork with the same sense and intensity of the original color was the challenge undertaken by Donell and her crew.
And Now A Word From Your Pastor...
Some pastors are just more blessed than others. As in all things, one can
only wonder ‘Why?’. But then, there is no answer except to remind oneself that all
good things come to us from God, so often through the goodness of those around us.
That is how I feel as I approach my 30th anniversary of Ordination to the
Priesthood. As I look back on those 30 years, I marvel at how quickly the time has
gone. Granted, some days seem longer than others and ‘not every day has been a
holiday’, but never have I regretted accepting the invitation to consider the
Priesthood as my vocation. I am especially thankful to the Church for calling me to
such a high office.
