Remarks:
The sculpture was originally located at Mount St. Mary's College in Hooksett, NH. After the college closed, the piece was given to St. Anselm College where it was stored in the basement of the abbey monastery until a teacher, Mary Bagnell, asked the Abbott if St. Peter's could have it. The sculpture was given to St. Peter's in 1986 or 1987 and was initially installed on a small lawn behind the church. The sculpture was moved to its present site in 1992 or 1993.
