Historic Church Statues

St Francis of Assisi
There are 7 statues in the historic church, three of which are in the main reredos behind the main altar, (St. Francis of Assisi, St. Patrick and St. Bridget,) another two above the two side altars (Sacred Heart and Blessed Mother,) while the other two are in the corner (St. Anthony and St. Joseph) one on each side.

St. Patrick
I was told that the reason why St Patrick and St. Bridget were chosen in the main reredos is because the original Franciscan Capuchins were from Ireland. The three main statues appear today, the other four will be posted tomorrow. Click on each of these photos to enlarge.
