Mary of the Angels Chapel
Numerous Sculptures!
Location: St. Rose Convent, 715 9th Street South
The bronzed wooden statues located at the intersection of the nave, transepts, and sanctuary reflect three great periods in Christian history: nearest the ceiling are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, all prophets of the Hebrew scriptures. At each side of the sanctuary are Paul and Peter, the apostolic foundation of the Christian era. Nearest the intersection are Gregory the Great, Ambrose, Augustine and Jerome, doctors and teachers of the early church.
The Viterbo “Dancing Francis” statue is located across the street from the convent.
