Timeless Messages
Timeless Messages: The Artworks Behind the Altar at Christ King Church
The space behind the altar of Christ King Church features three stunning artworks, created by the celebrated artist Richard Gabriel, who was also a parishioner of the church. These pieces depict three significant themes: the central artwork illustrates the Last Judgment, while the two side pieces represent the parables of the Good Samaritan and the Lost Son. The artworks were created at the request of the parish's former priest, Rev. Fr. Markes Fernandes, with significant supportive involvement from the parish youth. These three artworks convey a powerful message to all who see them, as they are placed directly behind the altar, facing the congregation. They serve as a constant reminder of the Last Judgment, God's forgiving love, and the importance of loving one's neighbor. In his later years, Richard Gabriel lived in Melbourne, Australia, and during one of his visits to the church, he expressed his gratitude, saying, "I thank Jesus Christ for giving me the opportunity to craft this work of art. Preserve them for future generations." Richard Gabriel peacefully passed away in 2016 at the age of 92, leaving behind a lasting legacy at Christ King Church.
