The Shrine of Our Lady
 The Pieta in the shrine is an original design, carved of white Italian
Carrara marble. In this classical image of Mary embracing the lifeless body of
her son, sculptor Sister Mary Peter focuses on the role of Mary as partner with
Jesus in the act of Redemption. This Mary, the Sorrowful Mother, is the
counterpart of the beautiful Mother-with-Child seen at the entrance of the
church. This is the mother who knows the pain of the death of a child, and she
is ready to help other children when they come to her in distress.
