LINVILLE — St. Bernadette Parish in Linville celebrated its patronal Feast Day April 16. Fresh flowers were placed by St. Bernadette’s portrait, which was painted by artist Chaz Fagan. The one-of-a-kind piece can only be seen in the church.
GREENSBORO — Our Lady of Grace Church held a gala April 11 at Starmount Country Club where parishioners and friends could learn more about its historic stained-glass windows created by famed Italian-Canadian artist Guido Nincheri. As his grandson was on hand to explain, Nincheri designed each window to depict a different title of Mary from the Litany of Loreto.
To ensure that their beauty endures, the parish launched a fundraising drive to complete maintenance and repair to these delicate works of art.
The hope is to complete restoration work for the 75th anniversary of the windows’ dedication in September 2027.
