Stations of the Cross

Fourteen inset bas-relief images of the Crucifixion of Christ adorn the perimeter of the church interior. Christians move through the Stations, stopping to contemplate each image and say selected prayers.  These Stations were produced by JosephSibbel Studios of New York, which continued Sibbel’s work in ecclesiastical sculpture for several decades after his death in 1907.  The date of this set of Stations is ca.1920.  Sibbel is known for his colossal statue of Archbishop Feehan of Chicago and the statues of St. Patrick., St. Anselm, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, St. Alphonsus Liguori, and St. Bonaventure in St.Patrick's Cathedral, New York. 

Delma Tallerico assisted with identifying the date of the Stations.  She is an expert on Joseph Sibbel's work.  See her website for more information.
