The statue of Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, returned to the Cathedral Courtyard on December 29, 2005.  A crane lifted the historic statue into place.


The statue of the Virgin and Child is placed on a block of golden granite.

The four-ton source stone is raised into position.  The stone was the gift of Chen Ragen and Associates.




The source stone is set in place.  Water will flow from the source stone down a channel, concluding in a reflecting pool around the statue of the Blessed Virgin.

Architect Stephen Lee surveys the new water feature.
