The St. Clements Church mosaic forms the backdrop to the baptismal font inside the main chapel. The imagery complements existing décor while focusing on the spirit of baptism. Members of the congregation, working along side the artist, executed the three panels in two week time period. The panels were then installed by Bonacio Construction Inc.

Working with the St. Clements Church community was a pleasure. The people were gracious and motivated, resulting in a mosaic that has energy and life.

 

Dear Ceres:
 
I cannot thank you enough for the magnificent mosaic and most especially for the amazing way you engaged so many people, young and old, in the project. I wish you God's blessings. Once again, thanks for a fabulous job!
