Rio Grande City's Church of the Immaculate Conception is a deeply historic and beautiful worship space.
This peace pole adds to the spirit of serenity and meditativeness that Fr. Gustav Gollbach started with his handmade Lourdes grotto in the 1920s.
Reflecting the Oblate missionary presence here, the ethnicity of the first RGC Parish priest Rev. Galbach, the string toes of the community to Mexico and the English-language settlers who founded the community, the languages on the peace pole are Latin, German, Spanish, and English.
Languages: Latin, German, Spanish, and English
Made of: Wood
