(Viewing the murals in large gives one a sense of the scale – of how large and grand these paintings are in relation to the choir and orchestra.)

Some themes and related murals:
David J. Hetland was a nationally recognized designer known for his liturgical works in mosaic and stained glass. He died in April this year (2006).
