AUSTRALIA: UNVEILING OF MOSAIC IN HONOR OF CAROLINE CHISHOLM

DIOCESE OF CG REPORT: Thousands of people are expected to attend the unveiling and blessing of a mosaic tribute to pioneer Caroline Chisholm in Goulburn on 29 June.

As part of the restoration of the Sts Peter and Paul’s old Cathedral, the 3.3m high artwork has been fitted over the filled-in organ window facing Verner Street in three 800mm-wide panels.

Archbishop Mark Coleridge will celebrate Mass at 10am, followed by the blessing and unveiling at 11.30am.

Designed and created by Ms Nola Diamantopoulos (left), the mosaic symbolises Caroline Chisholm’s life and vocation, through motifs such as a sailing ship, immigrants, her horse and the Australian landscape.
