OUR BLESSED MOTHER IS HERE! AVE MARIA!

After months of preparation, fundraising, and prayer, our friend and renowned artist Achim Klaas of Ontario arrived here on May 22 with the most beautiful statue of the Blessed Mother and Christ Child we have ever seen.

Until her setting is properly prepared in the Rosary Walk (likely August), she will be residing in the chapel next door at St. Monica's Senior Living, where all may come and enjoy her at any time. (3920 N. Green Bay Rd, Racine)
