Our Lady of Joyful Hope

The school where I teach made a very big move in the fall of 2015.  The new campus is beautiful and at the center is our chapel — Our Lady of Joyful Hope.  I was asked about a year before our move to design a mosaic that would flank the entrance and be the centerpiece to our rotunda, the very first space you enter when visiting Cardinal Newman School.  After much planning, my art club and I created the mosaic in sections at the old school and when we were able, mounted it in the new space. With lots of anxiety, sweat and a few tears we did it and it is now the first thing visitors see when they enter the new school.
