Join us as we delve into the sacred symbolism within our beloved church! We begin our exploration with a mesmerizing feature adorning the front entrance: a majestic, nearly six-foot-tall carving of Our Lady of Lourdes, the patroness of our church. With Washington Street as her audience, she stands gracefully, enveloped by a radiant aura—a divine honor bestowed only upon Mary and Christ. 

As we cast our eyes upwards, below the limestone cross at the point of the roof is a carving of a heart pierced by a sword. This powerful symbol signifies Simeon's prophecy, foretelling the profound grief Our Blessed Mother would endure at the loss of her beloved son. 

Stay tuned for more hidden treasures within our church's art and architecture and be sure to look for these captivating features the next time you visit Our Lady of Lourdes!
