Follow Armando's progress in the coming weeks on our Facebook page.

Our artist-in-residence Armando Sosa, master weaver, is creating a set of three tapestries for use in worship during Easter. The tapestries are designed for the delight of our imaginations and the contemplation of the mystery of our salvation.

As you pass through the library, take a look under the loom's back beam for a glimpse and take a moment to talk with this kindly artist, who has been truly gifted and called by God to his craft.

Watch for photo updates of Armando's progress on our Facebook page and read more about the project on the website. We also are looking forward to weaving events with Armando in May.
