Sculptures at NEC ‘crystallize a moment,’
Sculptures at National Eucharistic Congress ‘crystallize a moment,’ sculptor says
Pedro Madera Cuevas contemplated the 22-foot sculpture outside St. John the Evangelist Church in Indianapolis.
“It reminds me a lot about his divine mercy,” said the young adult Catholic from the Archdiocese of Seattle. “He’s pouring out his blood for the whole world. It reminds me of how much he has given to all of us, like his whole life for the world.”
The sculpture is one of two pieces created by world-renown Catholic sculptor Timothy Schmalz and placed near the church across from the Indiana Convention Center for the National Eucharistic Congress. His faith-based pieces grace the Vatican and locations around the world, including two outside of St. Elizabeth Catholic Charities in New Albany, Indiana.
