Shrine room before the renovation

 

Under the direction of Rev. Michael Murphy, a Baptismal area, which was no longer being used for that purpose, was transformed into a devotional prayer chapel.

 

Several renderings were submitted for Father and after his input, this devotional area was created

Wood carved sculptures of the saints were completed for the room. Electronic votive stands eliminated the work and worry of having to use real candles in a confined space.

Each kneeler was custom made to complement the existing woodwork within the church. Under a protective Plexiglas cover are prayers that were written in hand calligraphy.
