I spent some time all alone in the parish Church on December 29th for the better part of two hours. Fr. Perrone gave me permission to go into the sanctuary as part of my photo shoot. Since I was there, I thought I would get closeups of a few things. This included the Seat of Wisdom statue in the center of the apse on the altar.
I have more editing to do and I will be peppering out more photo posts with things captured during that session, and from some other recent things I've photographed at Grotto in the past week. As we near the end of this solemnity for the Mother of God, I would like to share these with you.

@Moniales - these will not print well (from the blog), so let me know if he you want high res on any.
Congratulations on the beautiful images of a beatiful work of sacred art! Do you know the artist and year it was done?
We have a modern sculpture of Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, at St. Basil Chapel at the local University of St. Thomas. The chapel itself is the last major work by Phillip Johnson, although that is a long story. The art is by a Texan, David Cargill. See the Chapel's website at

Keep up with us in Houston at www.gulfcoastcatholic.com
I wish I did know more about the artist and other info. I will inquire, but do not know if the answer will be found.
