Six Sisters of Mercy gathered before a shrine dedicated to Mary, Queen of the Assumption. These women may still be in the novitiate, or celebrating the end of it. Location is unknown but presumably on the grounds of Mount St. Mary's. Photo #26. Dated 1960.
1947 photo of the interior of St. Joseph's Church, which has a statue of Mary under a canopy and placed at the top of some steps. The statue is well lighted and surrounded by Easter lilies, palms, and other flowers.

Structural items such as the pulpit and the supports holding various statues attached to the columns have been removed, owing to liturgical reforms and audio-technology. The church, the largest in Vermont, was finished in 1887, but the parish itself began in 1850. A centennial history of the parish was published in 1987 and has a detailed history of the building's design and construction. Here one sees the panoply of religious artifacts and decoration known before the Second Vatican Council, some of which can be seen at St. Joseph's today. These include a reproduction, high above the altar, of DaVinci's "Last Supper," numerous statues of saints and angels, at least 3 American flags, perhaps a flag of Vatican City, flowers, plants, and special lighting.

This particular mass may be the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8), since the parishioners seem dressed for cold weather and there is a large statue of Mary under a canopy, in addition to others in the sanctuary.

Two boys look at the photographer as he takes a picture of the altar at St.Joseph's Church on the Old North End in Burlington, Vt. The altar is crowded with statues of saints and angels and decorated with candles, flowers, plants, and flags. High above the altar is a reproduction of DaVinci's "Last Supper," and a prominent statue of Mary under a canopy can be seen on the left. In keeping with the Tridentine rite of the Roman Catholic Church, the priest faces the altar (and not the parishioners, as in current practice) where the Latin texts are framed and set in place.

Corner of a chapel with a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with drapery in the background and flowers. Banister pattern matches the one seen in mcalA18F05i23, so perhaps this is a corner in the same chapel.
1956 Trinity College graduates, assembled on stairs in the shape of an "M," presumably for the Blessed Virgin Mary. Statue in the background is of Jesus displaying the Sacred Heart. Photo #27.

Wilbur, a wealthy businessman from Manchester, Vermont, who wrote the 1928 biography of Ira Allen, gave the statue to the University. The statue displaced the Lafayette statue which was relocated to the north side of the University Green, thus severing the logical connection between the original placement of the statue of Lafayette and Old Mill."
