A new mural outside of St. Vincent De Paul on Central Avenue was unveiled Wednesday.

The mural is the result of a collaborative effort among artist Blanca Santander, Kent students, community partners and Centro Rendu volunteers.

The mural depicts St. Vincent De Paul and how he bridges the connection between the “haves” and the “have nots” in society, an issue that has persisted throughout human civilization.
