Timothy Schmalz, the acclaimed Canadian sculptor whose religious works include “Homeless Jesus” and “Angels Unawares,” has just offered to the world a striking witness to the sanctity of life. “Life Monument,” an eight-foot sculpture of Mary cradling the infant Jesus in her womb, was installed May 27 in the Church of San Marello al Corso in Rome. The following week, a larger version of the same sculpture was blessed at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, on the first stop of a multi-city tour.
A Michigan patron has generously sponsored both sculptures, the one in Rome and the one now displayed at the University of St. Thomas-Houston.
