Sculpture of the Risen Christ
Created by artist Wiktor Szostalo
To mark its 30th anniversary, Ss. John and Paul Parish commissioned a sculpture of the Risen Christ by artist Wiktor Szostalo. The parish commissioned the same artist previously to create the crucifix and the Holy Family grouping in its 2001 worship space. In honor of the anniversary of the parish's foundation (October 4, 1983), a special Anniversary Mass was celebrated on October 4th and the sculpture was dedicated October 5th & 6th.
The entire funding for the Risen Christ sculpture was derived from parish memorial funds and from general donations by parishioners, friends and families.
