Mary O'Neill Doll Museum Napier
Announcement, 28th of January 2014
A little Stella Maris chapel (Our Lady, Star of the Sea) will take place at the Mary O'Neill Doll Museum in Napier.
This chapel will include all the dolls which are objects of religious
devotion and made by Mary O'Neill for example a Doll of Pope Benedict XVI,
Doll of Adele Euprasie Barbier, St. Mary MacKillop etc. At currently
there is a new doll of Archangel Michael in preparation. Mary is planning to design a life size figure of Holy Mary.
"This will be a doll museum chapel devoted to Stella Maris. There are
a number of churches in the coastal region throughout the world and
in New Zealand being named Stella Maris or Our Lady Star of the Sea. Our
Lady of the Sea is a protector of those on the sea. Napier is a coastal
town. However, this is not the only reason I devoted this chapel to Our
Lady Star of the Sea” Mary O’Neill said today.
