St. Mary of Mount Virgin Church – New Brunswick, New Jersey
Right over the entrance of the classically influenced church building is a terra cotta panel with the words Ave Maria, for “Hail, Mary.” This makes very clear whom the namesake of this church is for everyone entering in.
Inside one is struck by the barrel vaulting with large arched openings for lights along the length of the nave. The columns supporting the vault are painted in imitation of marble.
The Holy Family with St. Joseph and the Virgin Mary with Jesus as a child. This is among the most brilliant color of all the windows.
The sanctuary has beautiful sculptures and icons of the Madonna and Child and Padre Pio. Behind the altar is an icon of Mary Queen of Heaven.
Outdoors are several religious sculptures.
