PHILADELPHIA >> When Kennett Square artist Neilson Carlin received a phone call from Bishop John MacIntyre of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia asking him to create a painting of the Holy Family for the 2015 World Meeting of Families, he had to think back to the television show “Lost.”
Carlin allowed five seconds of fear.
“Anytime I get a call about a commission, I’m happy because something is in the works, but I had no idea when he initially called me what it was going to be for,” Carlin said. “I just figured I’d be doing something for one of the local parishes. I had no idea it would be for something as large as the World Meeting of Families.
“Because of the scope of this, I had another five-second scare as he was explaining this to me. All I kept hearing was ‘world.’ World was in that title.
