The Holy Water Stoup

June 24th is the Feast of St. John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus who baptized him in the River Jordan. As one enters the sanctuary at St. Mary's, there is a Holy Water Stoup mounted on the back wall. It is filled with Holy Water that has been blessed by a priest, and may be used to make the sign of the cross when we enter the church, serving as a reminder of our baptismal vows and our membership in the Body of Christ. The Stoup was carved by Paul Buckner, the artist who carved the Stations of the Cross.

The Loveridge Altar

One hundred and twenty-nine years ago on Easter Sunday, April 4, 1897, the altar that now stands in our chapel was dedicated as a gift to the Parish by Fr. Loveridge and his wife. Fr. Loveridge was the Rector at St. Mary's, and also the carver of this beautiful piece of liturgical furniture. It has had quite the journey. It was installed in the original church at 7th and Olive (pictured above), then moved to the second St. Mary's church at 7th and Charnelton, then to our current church at 13th and Pearl, then to the parish of St. Thomas, then to the Triangle Lake Conference Center, before finally coming home again to St. Mary's.
