The edifice was conceived, designed and supervised by our architect and parishioner, Thomas Henry Moran. Granite and Indian limestone trim were selected from North Carolina as the exterior materials for their durability and lasting beauty. The tower reaches 88 feet and houses five bells. Three of the bells were cast in bronze at the Paccard Foundry in Annecy, France and were installed by Professor Arthur L. Bigelow of Princeton, who also donated one of the bells dedicated to St. Vincent de Paul. In front of the church stands a ten foot Carrara marble statue of St. Paul holding his scroll of Epistles and his sword of the Spirit to guard the faith. Sculptured at the Armando Battelli Studios, Pietrasanta, Italy, the statue is a gift of John McShane, whose company was the general contract.Original file name IMG_2668.jpg2877 x 4316Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
