Our Lady of Charity Parish is restoring the original Celtic Art murals painted by Danish artist Frode Rambusch. Through the years, the walls were covered with four layers of paint, which are being painstakingly removed. The restoration began in March 2019 and is being done by Swiatek Studios of Clarence. The murals were painted between 1908-1913 and were inspired by the intricate Celtic art designs found in the eighth century Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels. Donations are accepted at this link.
