These intricate, customized ornaments were made by former Avon Laker, Keith Concar, of Dirty Shores Studio.
Keith is a 1996 graduate of Avon Lake High School that currently lives in San Diego. He has been a lifelong woodworker and has always loved to build. In 2006, Keith went down to New Orleans to assist in clean-up and rebuilding homes after Hurricane Katrina. On his way to work one day, he was involved in a tragic accident that left him paralyzed. His rehabilitation needs eventually led him to the state-of-the-art spinal cord facilities in San Diego, where he has lived since 2008. After many years of rebuilding and adjusting to his new life, Keith found a way to incorporate his love of woodworking and his keen eye for design into his new career at Dirty Shores Studio.

BLUE CHRISTMAS returns on the longest night of the year.
When we are grieving the loss of a loved one, Christmas is difficult to celebrate. If you are grieving, please let us walk with you and join us as we offer prayers and reflections, listen to gentle music and decorate a special tree in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Please bring a 2"x 3" snapshot of the loved one(s) you would like us to remember this year, and let's come together as we reflect, recall, and create a special ornament that you can take home OR leave in the church this year. No registration is necessary, and all are welcome.
