One more picture/ then Trinity Heights, Sioux City, IA

At entrance to Pamplin Military Museum



Monday, June 24 the sun actually came out!   After completing some housekeeping chores  we went to Trinity Heights and enjoyed 16 acres of gardens, shrines, and water features which surround a 33 foot statue of Jesus, a 30 foot statue of Mary and the life-sized woodcarving of The Last Supper.

The Last Supper was carved by a man from LeMars, IA who worked full time at the post office and carved nights and weekends.   It took him 7 years to complete the carving.   It's one of only 4 life-size carvings of the Last Supper.   

The site also has a Divine Mercy Chapel with a first class relic of St. Faustina and across the parking lot a very nice Catholic Book Store.    Definitely worth stopping to see!
