New installation of art

Published by toospnadmin on

Holy Family Parish has received new art in the sanctuary of the Church. The artist, Ken Woo, is directing the work, which is being donated by generous benefactor. The work is inspired by the Sienese iconographic tradition.

The most prominent feature is the Crucified Lord. He is flanked by our Lady on the his right and Saint John on his left. The original crucifix has been installed in the narthex of the church.
