The Baldachin Engineer

Here is Rich, the Design Engineer behind the scenes who sewed St. Brendan's new "Baldachin" - aka "canopy" for the magnificent Corpus Christi Procession on June 2, 2013 at St. Brendan's Church in Bellingham, MA.  After we presented him with an idea, he went to work on a prototype fabricated from a camouflage material.  We assured the good pastor that it was not the the final product.  So then Rich worked out the kinks and arrived at this final version.  It was a splendid addition - only the best for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament!
