Beloved O'ahu artist Peggy Chun, who is almost completely paralyzed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), has completed a mosaic of Father Damien that took 18 months and a little help from a lot of friends.
Chun, who is able to communicate only by directing her gaze at an alphabet board, nevertheless directed the creation of a 4-by-8-foot mural made upfof 50,0000 small squares of paper, each painted to her specifications. The mural will be unveiled in a ceremony at the State Capitol at 12:45 p.m. March 14, with readings and music, after a resolution commending her is read on the Senate floor.

Esther, I am happy you posted this. We have Pauline Cooperator's meeting that day so we may not be able to go, but will try. Thank you!
By the way, no need to post Chrism Mass according to my husband bec the church gets packed as it is, but if you and Joey will be able to make it, that would be wonderful. It will be at 7pm on Thurs at St. Theresa's Co-Cathedral. I cry every time I go because about 100 of our priests come. Esther, it is a beautiful sight!
Joe and I will be with the choir and Cy and CT will altar serve.
Love,
Easter:-)
We will try to go too. I want to get a photo of the Mosaic.
Okay, thanks for letting me know about the Chrism Mass. I don't think we can make it though. It is usually packed.
HA HA HA...
You may have to try getting through the roof, Esther... he he he... well, it's biblical.... he he he...
