Church Interior is Recognized by Granddaughter of Artist

The artwork, so beautifully captured by Dan Carr (Class of 1960) in his photos, of the interior of St. Thomas Aquinas/St. Martin de Porres Church is the subject of a wonderful website honoring the artist responsible for the design and execution in the early 1950s.

Kathy Mallin, granddaughter of John A. Mallin, notes on her website her grandfather was responsible for decorating more than 100 churches, many of them in the Chicagoland area. Patrick Reardon (Class of 1963) provided some of the history of the Church for the section on St. Thomas Aquinas.

To read more about the artist. as well as a little history of St. Thomas Aquinas, take a moment to view the website at http://johnamallin.com/

Thank you, Kathy Mallin, for sharing your wonderful research with us.
