You're invited...
...to the dedication of the Trinity mosaic.
When: Sunday, December 23 at 10:15 AM
Where: St. Maron Church, 600 University Ave NE, Minneapolis
Why: Because...it'll be really cool?
After three years of work, including two months of installation, the Trinity mosaic is finally done. And I'm out of work, which is another subject entirely. So...yeah. I'd be thrilled to see some of my friends there, even though this is ridiculously late notice. Mass starts at 10:15, and is about an hour to an hour and a half long (yeah, everyone's been really specific about that) and the short dedication ceremony and unveiling will follow.
I'm pretty excited about it. I mean, I've spent a lot of time really close up to it, seen it in all its stages, and actually got to see the whole thing from the ground on Wednesday (without scaffolding in front of it!) but, since there was never a dedication for the 14 Stations, this is really going to be the culmination of my last three years of work.
Wednesday was fun. Christine got sick and couldn't come, but Lori and I spent 5 hours with a mobile scaffolding doing the last of the grouting, and an insane amount of polishing. I reeked of orange oil afterwards, and we're afraid one half is a lot shinier than the other...but it was a good day.
Griffon helped out Friday, Saturday and Monday. Interesting going to work together. Helped us soooo much, though.
Ooh, shiny...
