This is what the painting of St Joseph that St Henry's Cathedral Parish is giving to St Joseph's Church in Kuopio looks like. The painting hung in what was then St Henry's Church in the early 20th Century (more details here). Most recently the painting has adorned the walls of the Parish Priest's Residence. The work of art will be reframed before it is hung above the main altar at St Joseph's Church. Bishop Teemu Sippo SCJ will consecrate the former Lutheran church in Männistö in Kuopio and dedicate it to St Joseph on Saturday, May 3rd, 2014. Monsignore Tuomo T. Vimpari will celebrate the first Sunday Mass in the new St Joseph's Church at 11 a.m. on May 4th. |
