Well, in that article, we had noted that "the chapel also has future phases of decorative painting planned." Those murals were being completed by New Jerusalem Studios" as well as the Stabat Mater Foundation and today we are pleased to circle back and present an update on what they've done.
To help digest the differences we'll treat this a bit like one of our 'before and after' series, but obviously this update is rather a case of a phased project having the time to complete itself. But to give you a reminder, here is how we the projectinitially began:

So what else could they really do here? They could of course have stopped at this point as they had already accomplished quite a bit. Had they stopped, the project still would have been hailed a dramatic success, but further plans were yet in store as described here by Studio io:
Future murals by New Jerusalem Studios will honor the Blessed Mother in her Coronation in the large roundel medallion on the front wall flanked by peacocks, Christ the Divine Physician on the back wall, and the four Evangelists on the sloped ceilings. Along with additional future decorative stencil work currently under development by Robert Puschautz [Stabat Mater Foundation] and studio, additional niches for votives featuring various saints associated with healing will eventually infill back and side walls.
Fast forward to the present day, and we can now show those updates our readers these murals, now brought into reality:
