​
The antiquity of stone and marble expresses a feeling of eternity… Eternity that comes to life through the patient hands of the young artisans of the Andes who, by using techniques transmitted from generation to generation, discover things that have been jealously guarded for millennia. The materials used in these sculptures are carefully chosen marble and stone, whose form, color, and hardness, express the sensitivity of each artist.
Artesanos Don Bosco (ADB) is a non-profit organization that supports self-employed, skilled artisans in Peru. It gives the opportunity to young people to remain in their villages while earning an income and improve their lives. They are self-employed, sharing machines and tools in one of 13 workshops across Peru.
In 2008, ADB came to the U.S. — to Baltimore. The artisans’ work is now featured in 16 churches (St. Peter and Paul in Easton, MD among them) and their furniture has been sold to customers throughout the U.S.

Tabernacle Table
The Tabernacle Table will be the base for our tabernacle, which has been donated to us from St. Dominic's in Baltimore. It is a very large and heavy item needing a secure and substantial table to bear it. Recessed in the rear of the apse is the Tabernacle, the place where the consecrated host is reserved.
