Our+Lady+of+Victory

This granite statute of Mary holding Jesus was erected in 1901 on Boggs Hill, a wooded area overlooking the former [|Mt Carmel Monastery]. The hill was originally called Victory Heights, and was on the property of the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity convent. These sisters also started a home for girls which evolved into a high school - both the convent and the school closed long ago. In 2010 the statue was restored and relocated to a courtyard of the Good Sheperd Nursing Home, still on the same property as in 1901, but in a more accessible location.
