The St. Francis of Assisi church building has been here since 1946, although the parish has been associated with Theophile Meerschaert, the first Bishop of Oklahoma who lived at this site until his death in 1924.
Facing the large parking area, this statue of Christ is mounted atop a tall stone pillar. He is standing on a sphere. Christ is dressed in a robe, with the Sacred Heart emblem at his chest. His arms are extended in a sign of benediction. The statue is bronze, with a golden patina.
Statues of Christ are found in many locations, particularly churches. He is the central figure of the Christian religion and His followers believe that He is God's Son and that His death on the cross paid the penalty for our sins. He lived in the area known today as Israel. His teachings are found in the Bible's New Testament.
