Welcome to Our Home

Placed at the main entrance of the church, the Holy Family sculpture shows an intimate and informal grouping of the three figures of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Their gesture is one of welcoming the viewer into their home. As sculptor, Sister Mary Peter Tremonte told the Building Committee:

 "When a family comes to Holy Family Church, I would like them to think of visiting the home of the Holy Family. I want them to have a feeling of at-homeness with their patrons."

"The Holy Family" is a signature piece because it names the church, and because it is a one-of-a-kind work of art, bearing the signature of the sculptor. Cast in bronze, the metal has a Pompeiian finish that will continue to weather into the classical blue-green color seen on antique sculptures.
