The statues above are the three most prominent statues on this campus. What do you know about them?
The statue on the far left is of Our Lady of Mercy. It stands on the North side of campus between the front
gates and Old Main. The picture above was taken while the fountain was still intact around it. According
to the Mercy hurst College Archives, the statue was erected in October 1956 and cost $2,000. It was carved
•
from a solid block of monumental white Carrara marble and was "specially <
exposure...so as to avoid deep crevices where snow or rain might gather." ' "S • •
The statue in the middle is Our Lady of Lourdes. It stands on the West side of campus in the Grotto. It
was made in Italy and blessed on November 7,1993. It stands Gve feet tall and fits perfectly in the niche where
the original statue was supposed to go. The original Lady of Lourdes statue arrived in 1932 from France too
large tofitin the niche so was placed on the altar. •'$
* The original Lady of Lourdes Statue was knocked over on Halloween 1992 and the remaining pieces are
now buried beneath the ground of the Grotto. *
The statue on the far right(perhaps erected in the 1940s) was given in the name of Sister DeSales Preston,
a former president of the college. It sits on the South side of Old Main actually fatingthe building.
