UPat Hymel ubekwe kwisibuko esiphambi kwendlu yomlambo uMama wethu weeMfama, ecaleni komfula iBlind kwiparishi yaseSt.James, Icawa yakhiwa kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo ngabazali bakhe, uMartha Deroche kunye nomyeni wakhe uBobby, emva kukaMartha waba nombono kaYesu eguqe eliweni.
Phakathi kwemithi yeentsini nemisipresi yomzantsi mpuma weLouanaana swamp, apho ubulembu baseSpain buxhonywe kumasebe kunye neenkozi ezinenkqayi kunye ne-osprey bhabha, yindlu encinci yecawa ebizwa ngokuba liLady of Blind River - ilifa lenkolo yowesifazane.
Indlu yegumbi elinye yakhiwa kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo emva kokuba uMartha Deroche ethe wayenombono kaYesu eguqe elityeni, kwaye kule minyaka idlulileyo yaba yindawo yokubaleka ngokomoya koomatiloshe abadlulayo, i-kayaks, abazingeli kunye nabalobi abalima amanzi omlambo omfula . Ixesha kunye nemozulu zisonakalisile isakhiwo kwaye uMartha nomyeni wakhe baswelekile, kodwa isizukulwana esitsha sosapho sizimisele ukuyigcina ikwenzela abahambi bexesha elizayo ukuba baphinde bonwabele indawo yoxolo yomthandazo.
"Ekuphela kwendlela yokufika apha ngesikhephe," yatsho intombi kaMartha Pat Hymel, ehleli kwenye yezitulo zenkonzo. "Ndicinga ukuba yiyo le nto kwakukhetheke kangaka kubantu abaninzi… ukuba bangqongwe yindalo, kwindawo entle kangaka."
Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-70, xa uMartha kunye nomyeni wakhe, uBobby, befudukela kwinkampu yabo yokuzingela ecaleni komfula iBlind, ebizwa ngokuba ziindawo ezininzi ezenza kube nzima ukubona ngekona, uMartha wayexhalabile ukuba angaya njani ecaweni. rhoqo.
Kodwa kwafika umbono kaYesu eguqe elulwalweni. Lo mbono, uMartha uxelele uBobby, kukuba uYesu wayesithi ufuna ukwakha icawe apho. Ke, ngeCawe yePasika ngo-1983, uMartha noBobby - ngethamsanqa wayengumchweli- baqala ukusebenza.
Kwaba yiprojekthi yoluntu, uPat uthe kutshanje ngenye imini xa ephequlula kwi-albhamu yezithombe ebonisa abamelwane kunye nabahlobo abancede ukuba umbono kaMartha ube yinyani.
“Badibene beza banceda. Kwaye ibubuhle ngokwayo, utshilo uPat.
Babeka umanyano lomgangatho kwaye baphakamisa uphahla kunye nenqaba yentsimbi. Bazenzele izitena zemisipres kwaye bazilayisha ngesandla iithayile zecypress. Embindini wendlu yomfanekiso oqingqiweyo weNtombikazi enguMariya efumaneka ngaphakathi kumngxunya wecypress okhutshiweyo okhutshwe kumgxobhozo. Iholo ihonjiswe ngemizobo kaYesu okanye eminye imifanekiso yenkolo, iirosari kunye neminqamlezo.
Ukugqitywa kwenkonzo ngo-Agasti 1983, kwafika umfundisi eza kuyinikezela kumsitho owawuzinyaswe ngabamelwane kunye nabahlobo kwizikhephe zabo.
Oko yabamba imitshato, iindwendwe ezivela kwiindawo ezikude njengakwa-Israyeli naseNgilani, kunye nobhishophu omkhulu. UPat uthe umama wakhe wayeqhele ukubabulisa, ahambise iirosari okanye amakhandlela, kwaye ababuze ukuba bafuna ukuba abathandazele okanye bafuna ukubhala umthandazo okhethekileyo.
Iindwendwe ezininzi ezazingengomaKatolika zabuza uMartha ukuba angangena na ecaweni. UPat uthe umama wakhe ubaqinisekisile ukuba bangakwazi.
"Uthe le ndawo yeyomntu wonke," utshilo uPat. "Kwakuthetha lukhulu kuye ukuba abantu beze apha, kwaye nokuba bahlala umzuzu okanye iyure, ayinamsebenzi."
UBobby Deroche wasweleka ngo-2012 kunye noMartha kunyaka olandelayo. Ngoku unyana kaPat, uLance Weber, onendlu encinci ngakwindlu elandelayo, unakekela i-chapel. Iminyaka kunye nemozulu esemazantsi eLouisiana khange zibe mnene. Icawa yayizaliswe ngamanzi kaninzi kwaye ifuna umsebenzi omkhulu wokulungisa. Kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo okanye njalo, uLance ugcine i-chapel ivaliwe kubakhenkethi abaninzi ngenxa yezizathu zokhuseleko.
Ngehlobo ephelileyo wakha idokodo elitsha leenqanawa ngeebhodi ezidityanisiweyo ezinikezelweyo kunye neepali zenkxaso ezixhonyiweyo eziza kunceda ukuxhasa i-chapel xa eyiphakamisa kwizikhukula ezizayo. Emva koko uya kuqala ukulungisa umgangatho kunye nokujongana nezinye iiprojekthi. Zonke izixhobo eziyimfuneko- yonke into ukusukela kumqadi onzima ukukrazula, izikere kunye neengxowa zesamente - kufuneka zihanjiswe kwisikhephe esiseLance esikumgama weemitha ezi-4,6.
Uceba ukwakha i-pier ngokukodwa kwi-kayaks kwicala lendlu. Kwaye angathanda ukuphinda into eyenziwa ngutatomkhulu nomakhulu wakhe xa yayisakhiwa i-chapel kuqala. Abo bancedayo ukuyakha babhala imithandazo ekhethekileyo emaphepheni aqokelelwe nguMartha noBobby kwaye bawagcina kwi-bell tower. U-Lance uzimisele ukuzikhupha, azisongele kwisikhongozeli esingangeni manzi, emva koko acele wonke umntu omncedisayo ukulungisa ukuba abhale imithandazo yabo. Uya kubabuyisela ndawonye ndawonye kwi-bell tower.
U-Lance wakhula etyelela umakhulu notatomkhulu wakhe emlanjeni, kwaye icawe yayihlala ivela ebuntwaneni bakhe. Uninakhulu wakhwaza intsimbi yecawa ngeentsasa zangeCawe ukuba amtsalele umnxeba evela naphi na apho wayeloba khona ukuze babukele iinkonzo zecawe kumabonakude.
Ukutyhubela amashumi eminyaka kuqaphele utshintsho kwimigxobhozo ejikelezileyo: amanzi aphakamileyo kunye namaza okuhamba kwenqanawa awonakalisile umgca womthi kwaye awandisa umjelo womlambo, kodwa kungenjalo yonke into intle ngokufanayo. Kwaye ufuna ukuyigcina injalo.
"Ngoku ndimdala, ndizama ukuyigcinela abantwana bam, abantwana babo nabazukulwana nayo yonke into ephakathi," utshilo.
