Our parish has ordered hand-carved, six foot tall statues from Italy which will be placed in the back of the sanctuary. Shortly after the statues are installed, a cross will be added behind our current "Resurrection Jesus".
The Finance Council has approved this project and we have the reserve funds (as well as one generous family covering the cost of the St. Joseph statue) to pay for this. However, given this unique opportunity, we created an account for "Sanctuary Beatification Project" that is available for anyone interested to contribute.
The estimated cost is between $50,000 and $53,000 with ~80% of that cost being the hand-carved statues.
