Thanks for the information, Sister Claire. I give tours at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is an important historical building in the Twin Cities and the first basilica in the United States. We have visitors from all over the world. When the dome needed to be replaced a little over ten years ago, more than half of the donations came from civic minded folks who did not attend that church (many not even Christian) who felt that such a historic site was well worth preserving.
Anyway, we have statutes of both Saint Anthony and Saint Teresa. Now I have something more to add to my tours. (Nothing like a little additional nickel knowledge.)
