A Timeless Tribute to the Church of St. Mary
In honor of the Church of St. Mary's 150th Anniversary, Bridget Halloran-accomplished artist and beloved art teacher at the School of St. Mary-was invited to create an original commemorative oil painting in celebration of this historic milestone.
Drawing inspiration from her faith, her deep ties to our parish, and our shared heritage, Mrs. Halloran has captured the historic splendor of the original Church of St. Mary. Her work reflects not only the church's architectural beauty but also the devotion and perseverance of Catholic immigrants who, through faith and sacrifice, built a spiritual home for generations to come.
With a palette reminiscent of Winslow Homer, Mrs. Halloran's artistry evokes the rich historic period of our parish's founding in the 1800s.
This original custom framed oil painting will be offered at auction in September 2026, marking the culmination of a year-long celebration of the parish's heritage and legacy.
Enjoy this original painting at the History Center from October 14th - November 10th 2025
