Be Welcoming is a powerful sculpture by Timothy Schmalz inspired by the call to welcome the stranger with compassion and dignity.
The artwork depicts a figure carrying a bag, representing the migrant, refugee, traveler, or anyone searching for a place of welcome. Within the figure, the presence of Christ is revealed—reminding us that in welcoming the stranger, we welcome Christ Himself.
This smaller resin edition brings the message of Be Welcoming into the home, office, parish, or personal prayer space. Compact yet meaningful, it serves as a daily reminder of hospitality, compassion, and our shared humanity.
A meaningful gift for those inspired by faith, service, and the Christian call to welcome others.
