Yes, we've had some great moments visiting with the grandkids in the St. Louis area since August 12, but this post is about the Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage, Missouri. On a trip to the RV dealer in Carthage, MO, to have some work done on the motor home, we took the opportunity to drop in at Precious Moments for a tour. Inspired by Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel in Rome, Precious Moments artist and creator, Samuel J. Butcher, designed and constructed the Precious Moments Chapel as his way of sharing the joy of his faith with the world. Each of the dozens of murals were hand painted by him. The mural “Hallelujah Square” celebrates the lives of real children whose lives ended too soon, but whose stories continue to bring a message of love, hope and peace.
