A photograph of Saint Malachy Church Entrance
at Sunday Noon 13 September 1998. 

Once there was a description of the great Dom Helder Camara, the Archbishop of Recife in the impoverished northeastern area of Brazil, how he would descend to his diocesan office everyday which was more a meeting room than an office and how he would everyday allow the people, mostly poor peasants, overwhelm him all day, everyday with their needs. This image of Dom Camara shaped this photograph of Saint Malachy's entrance in the hope that Saint Malachy Church and School and Rectory and Meeting Room and Staff could be this kind of welcome, this kind of place for any who come near. Thus this image of an open door.  We hope that is what we are. Simply.
