| The stone is being installed in the baptismal font. The stone is also used in the altar and the ambo. The stone is from Saudi Arabia. | The baptismal font will have water pouring from a shell. The fonts at the entrances will be shell shaped. The first baptism is scheduled for December 8. |

| The font is beautiful and you may notice that it is inscribed with Omega-Alpha in three places. Usually you would expect to see Alpha-Omega, but the pilgrims at Compostela, Spain would expect the Omega-Alpha. When we come to our baptism, one life ends and another begins, hence Omega-Alpha. | This is a view of the retractable door above the HOPE windows in the Library. |
