On June 21, 2025, the eve of the Feast of Corpus Christi, Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Houston Texas hosted the Come & See Exhibit. After attending vigil mass there, we proceeded to the Family Life Center where parishioners and guests were treated to a light reception before the exhibit began. The pastor of Blessed Sacrament (and also our friend), Fr. Edmund Eduarte, opened the exhibit and Mother Mary captivated us aIl!
I was thrilled to be there! My husband, our Baytown friends and volunteers from the parish donated their time to help setup, organize, take print/prayer card orders and serve at the exhibit. I am so very thankful! Praying for God’s graces to shower on them and all those in attendance. There were artists in the audience, three who I was aware of. I got to meet lovely people including a beautiful lady named Mary, who shared a story about her rosary (she is pictured below with a walker in front of Immaculate Heart painting with me). There were many memorable moments. Such an enormous blessing!
The painting I gifted to the parish is entitled “This is My Body” and the title providentially came from Fr. Edmund. For those who have seen the Shalomworld episode, it was the painting I was working on. Funny story actually. I had set it aside unfinished after the shoot and I got distracted with many other things. When time came to finish it, I found that I was short on time that I literally had to finish it in Houston. I had to make a makeshift studios at 2 locations so it could be in a state of completion before we left Houston. Thanks be to God and to our friends, it was finished. All in God’s time.
And here is the completed painting…
