Statues

The two large statues in Carrara marble on either side of the Sanctuary - one representing the Sacred Heart, the other St Joseph's - were presented in 1900 by Bishop Michael Verdon, second Bishop of Dunedin. The marble statues are similar to the Michelangeo stone. | |

In March 1936, when the Cathedral was being
renovated, the Lebanese Society gave this holy water
front carved from Italian marble. This very beautiful
holy water front stands near the main door of the
Cathedral, with similar inscription: "Pray for the
Lebanese community." The Lebanese Community settled in the Cathedral parish in the 1880 and, until recent years, formed a large part of the Cathedral parish. The holy water font was given in memory of those who came from the vicinity of Mount Lebanon, and whose families have been closely associated with the life of the Cathedral for many years. |

To mark the Golden Jubilee of Mother M. Agnes, O.P., the school children provided a very fine stone statue of the Dominican, St Agnes of Montepulciano. The statue was erected in August 1886 in an exterior niche of the lower storey of the northern tower facing towards St Dominic's Priory. It was a gift to the Cathedral. |
