HISTORY OF THE STATUES IN HOLY TRINITY

The six foot statue of Mary holding the Child Jesus is from the old Our Lady of Victory Convent at Grimes and Montana Streets here in San Antonio. The nuns sold the property in 1994 and contacted Msgr. Fater to obtain the statue. The statue originally was made in Spain or Italy due to its texture and pre-dates the 1930's according to the expert who refinished the statue in 1995.

The other statues (St. Anthony, St. Joseph, and the Little Flower of Jesus) were from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on 61st street in midtown Manhattan, New York. That church closed in 1996 and Msgr. Fater obtained the statues in 1997 from the pastor, Rev. Francis Collins, C.S.S.R.
