I was on my way to St Francis Square to have my unlocked phone checked, and I saw a flier about The Podium Presents Manuel D. Baldemor‘s Homage to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus.

The flier says:

UNICEF artist and roving cultural envoy Manuel D. Baldemor was commissioned to do a study of a mural in mosaic for the Basilica of Saint Therese de Lisieux (Saint Therese of the Child Jesus) in Normandy.  The Basilica is the second famous religious shrine and pilgrimage site in France triumphed only by Lourdes.  Last May 7, 2008, Baldemor together with our very own Ambassador to France, H.E. Jose A Zaide, presented his paintings and archetype to the ecclesiastical authorities in Lisieux headed by Monsignor Bernard Lagoutte. Enthusiastically received and approved, the mural study will be converted to mosaic and enlarged to 3×5 meters.

The target date for the installation is on 18 October 2009, the 20th Year of the Filipino Chaplaincy in France.
