Risen Christ art unique to the Woods
When visitors enter the Church of the Immaculate Conception, they are awestruck by the Renaissance-style design, the fresco paintings and boldly colored stained-glass windows from the Royal Bavarian Art Institute of Munich and by the grand Carrara, Pavonazzo and Numidian marble. After pilgrims, friends, family and sisters sit down in the pews, however, their attention is quickly drawn towards a simpler, unique risen Christ figure that hangs above the sanctuary. A one-of-a-kind sculpture, the risen Christ was designed in 1989...

Everything is connected – Our Water

Young Crawfordsville man offers sacrifice and prayer in walking to Shrine of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin
“Ahh, I’m here.” And with that sigh of relief, Andrew Domini went to his knees and crawled the last 90-plus feet of his journey toward the sanctuary of the Church of the Immaculate Conception at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Yes, crawled; not that he couldn’t walk. He was fully capable, even after walking the greater portion of 70-plus miles on a pilgrimage of sacrifice and prayer so that he could ask for the intervention of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, foundress of the...

...Vatican Council habit. No one was more amazed by the turn of events than I. My Perpetual Vows came after a challenging and wonderful seven-year Initial Formation program.
