Local artist depicts Saint Mary Magdalen at the foot of the Cross

Saint Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Brentwood had sculpted a depiction of Saint Mary Magdalen. This depiction of the, “Apostle to the Apostles,” is taken from the beautiful crucifixion scene located in the Church sanctuary. Michelle Bowman of Restorations Plus handled the commissioning of this statue and put the pastor, Fr. Jack Siefert, in contact with a local sculptor, Abraham Mohler, who sculpted this statue from a large block of limestone. This ten thousand pound statue took a year to finish and is sitting on the southwest corner of the church property. This statue gives honor to the power of Christ working through this heroine of the Church. It has been donated in the names of loved ones deceased. While the statue is in place, there is landscaping to be done as well as the reinstallation of the granite Saint Mary Magdalen sign.
