Restoring Art; Honoring a Friendship

Ambrose alum Paul Herrera is restoring a piece of art of the late Father Edward Catich.

From the Iowa Press-Citizen
'Preserving work of a friend, mentor'
"Paul Herrera worked tediously, peering through his black-rimmed glasses while perched on scaffolding. With careful brushstrokes, he touched up images of angels wielding musical instruments originally designed by his former mentor and friend. The yellow paint soon will be covered with 23-carat gold leaf."
Rest of the story.

'Man restores artwork of priest, mentor at Regina'
"Father Edward Catich, a world-renowned artist and calligrapher, died in 1979, but Paul Herrera is among those trying to make sure the priest's legacy lives on."
