Sacred Heart of Jesus Statue

 

In the east transept, the image of the Sacred Heart reaches out with love and compassion to the faithful believer.  The statue, towering 12 feet in height and weighing over 1200 pounds, is carved from an eight ton single block of white Carrara marble.  The Sacred Heart statue appears to float against the gold-leafed reeded background of carved wood.  The statue was carved by Italian sculptor Roberto Padrini.
