Keeping the Faith

Once she got the go-ahead, Rechtiene took a closer look at the ornament the monsignor had given her and saw a sticker on the back that said it was made by decorative keepsake maker ChemArt. So she called ChemArt and discussed what she had in mind. The Savannah Cathedral wanted an ornament made of its stained glass center window depicting its patron saint, Saint John the Baptist, baptizing Jesus Christ. The idea was to raise money in general for the cathedral, helping it pay off the interest debt from its renovation and using any other funds to help with the upkeep of the building. And then, if the ornament fundraiser turned out to be successful, the Savannah Cathedral could start a series of different ornaments, not just a one-time or one-item project.
