[From Father Daniel Gunn] The upstairs auditorium of St. Stephen's Pro-Cathedral, Wilkes-Barre, known as the Children’s Chapel, was recently renovated. The four walls have a complete mural (the description/symbolism is below). The ceiling was repainted and new carpet was laid. We dedicated the space this past Sunday. The artist, Carrey Mudlock was present.
The room is approximately 40'X 30' and approx. 18' at the highest point. Not only is it used for children's chapel, but it is also used as a community meeting room by NA and AA. It took most of the summer but it was a lot of fun and the people at St. Stephen's were so gracious and wonderful to work with.
