We are excited to announce a new Holy Trinity Heritage Park bronze spiritual art sculpture was unveiled and blessed on Tuesday, May 2nd. The event was followed by a mass conducted by recent Spirit of Hope recipient and Marie’s Blessings volunteer, Fr. Sonny Day.
The bronze sculpture, titled “Fruit of Thy Womb,” was created by world renowned Canadian Artist Timothy P. Schmalz. Schmalz’s religious and figurative sculptures can be seen around the world, including pieces installed in historical churches in Rome and the Vatican. In an intimate and heart-warming depiction of the Visitation, Elizabeth is shown on her knees with her ear on Mary’s pregnant stomach and a hand on her own. This sculpture marks the second in Holy Trinity Heritage Park created by Schmalz, with the other being entitled “When I Was Hungry & Thirsty” which was unveiled in Fall 2022.
St. Elizabeth Catholic Charities has been blessed with community partners and donors who helped to make these additions to the park come to fruition. We thank each one of you for your commitment to St. Elizabeth’s mission and programs.
