Set below the original altar, but still raised two steps from the congregation, is the altar used today. It is much smaller than the original altar and is made of wood instead of marble. To its left is the lectern and to its right the sedilla, or priest’s chair, both also made of wood. On either side of the altar, set apart by large columns and framed with gothic arches, are two statuary areas. The one to the left of the altar houses Mary with arms stretched out and palms raised, welcoming the congregation. To the right is Jesus of the Sacred Heart, a statue that calls to mind Jesus’ love for his people and their love for each other. Two steps down from the altar is the main floor of the church with an alcove on either side. The alcove to the left contains the vigil candles for prayer and a statue of Joseph holding the baby Jesus: while the alcove to the right contains the confessional. Above the confessional are a large crucifix and a statue of St. Patrick, who is revered for his forty years of missionary work in Ireland. Meeting of Minds 2006 36
The ceiling of the church is adorned with a series of gothic arches. Each arch is decorated with shamrock, which St. Patrick used to symbolize the Holy Trinity, and between each arch, painted on the ceiling, are twelve saints. Down the middle of the ceiling, directly above the aisle, are sunbursts containing various Christian symbols. Lining the walls are intricately carved stone statues set in elaborate wooden frames, which depict the fourteen Stations of the Cross. Each of the stations represents a stage of Jesus’ Passion and death. I spoke with the priest at St. Patrick Church, Father Raymond Lewandowski, to examine how these images affected his faith, his prayer, and his personal ideas about God. Father Ray believes that the images displayed in his church help to strengthen his faith, guide his prayer, and enhance the messages in both the readings and his sermons. During the Lenten season, he often refers his parishioners to the statues of the Stations of the Cross to remind them of how Christ died for their sins. According to Father Ray “the wooden altar and furnishings provide a feeling of warmth and assist in welcoming people into the church.” The statues and the original altar help to focus attention on the new altar. Moreover, the mural of heaven is referenced during funerals to celebrate the soul’s journey into heaven and personally reminds Father Ray that “Jesus is welcoming me into the church and into the kingdom of heaven.” However, Father Ray also recognizes that images such as the mural can distract people’s attention away from the altar, but for the most part he believes that they are more beneficial then detrimental. In his own personal reflection and prayer, Father Ray finds that the images in the church call to mind the messages of God and depending on the subject of his prayer he will pray to specific saints as well as to God for guidance. Furthermore, he believes that his personal style of ministry is “more conducive to the old style of worship.” The parishioners of St. Patrick’s that I talked to agreed. Most feel that the material culture gives them a point of reference or focus for their prayer and their faith. Some would even prefer going back to the pre-Vatican II style of Mass.
