The 10-foot stainless-steel head of Our Lady Queen of Peace was hoisted from sculptor Charles Parks’ studio at Bancroft Mills on Tuesday and driven to Bruce Industrial Co. on New Castle Avenue south of Wilmington.
In weeks to come, the head will be welded to the steel torso and the completed statue taken to Holy Spirit Catholic Church. There it will stand with outstretched arms reaching toward the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
The 34-foot tall Madonna was built for $500,000, the money raised by a local group of Catholics. Our Lady Queen of Peace is the third large Madonna created by Parks and the first to remain in Delaware.
