September Speakers
This month’s speakers are Steve and Pauline Winogron. After spending 34 years in radio and television broadcasting, Steve accepted a challenge from his wife Pauline to join and grow her statue restoration business.
Though it was a drastic career change, the idea of building skills to rebuild, repair, re-sculpt and in some cases re-imagine extremely old statues was intriguing, Now, more than eight years later, Steve and Pauline restore statues most often 80 to 150 years-old and come from Canada and the United States.
For both Pauline and Steve, the greatest reward comes from seeing old, out-of-use statues, altars, tabernacles or sculptures being brought back into fruitful service. To see people pray before a 120-year old crucifix that came from a dusty antique shop in Quebec, was restored, and now hangs in the Sanctuary at Annunciation Parish brings them great joy.
