One student group gathered beneath two contrasting dinner scenes. In one, a modest family prays over a simple meal of bread and soup. In another, a top-hatted millionaire dines alone, indifferent to the beggar at his feet as an angel weeps.The students debated which table they’d rather join. The rich man has better food, they noted, but the family appears more hospitable.

“They are very grateful obviously for what they have,” observed sixth-grader Corinne Coppler.Vaskov said the murals remain central to the parish’s identity. Though most services are now in English, the parish still holds a monthly Croatian-language Mass and celebrates other ethnic traditions.The scaffolding supporting the conservation work posed “a temporary inconvenience to reveal something marvelous,” Vaskov said.

It finally came down in late May, in time for the parish’s 125th anniversary Mass on June 1. Most of the murals have now undergone conservation.

It might get quiet, but that feeling doesn’t necessarily always go away.
