- Designed and created the Cover of the Baptismal Font

- Designed and created the tester that hangs above our altar. The tester carries the Scriptural quote, "The lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction." (Rev 5:12, (Douay-Rheims)) (Gaze on the Tester and meditate on the wonderful gift of Jesus.)
