As you enter our Church from the Geneva Street entrance, you will enter our Vestibule. On the left-most portion of our Vestibule are the stairs to our Choir Loft, Organ, and to our Bell Tower. On the right-most portion of the Vestibule there is a large statue of Jesus Crucified. Very little is known about this large Crucifix or who built it or purchased it. There is some suspicion that it may have been from the old Church building.
Before 2023, a Shrine of the Blessed Mother sat in the South end of the Church where the original Baptismal Font resided (underneath the South Transept). This is a hand-carved statue imported from Italy and donated to the Church in 1987 in memory of the Sturm family. A graceful backdrop for the shrine was designed and donated to the Church by Anton Egner.
