The commandments are etched into two pieces of stone. They sits on a rock, against the wall. On top of one of the tablets is a dove.
"I am the Lord thy God Thou shalt not have strange gods before me
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
Remember to keep holy the sabbath day
Love God Above All.
Honor thy father and mother
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods."
Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself
The monument is outside the church, so you can see it from normal hours. It seems to be the Augustine text of The Ten Commandments. It's interesting that the graven image part is missing.
