The Mural

The gym at Laurel Heights is home to A Celebration of Life, a wall mural in acrylic designed by Marianist artist Brother Cletus Behlmann. The mural includes religious and secular themes in a variety of styles from the abstract to the folk art tradition. The central leitmotif of his work proclaims the wonders of nature and the world in the light of God’s Redemption, all in celebration of life.

In the fall of 1998, Brother Cletus, working from a scaffold, designed the mural and indicated the colors to be used. Under the leadership of Harold and Juanita Souder, volunteers from the congregation painted the colorful mural.
