Description
Confirmation and Holy Communion certificate containing an interior view of the Roman Catholic church built in 1840 after designs by architect Eugene Napoleon Le Brun. View looks toward the nave of the ornately decorated church and shows boys and girls kneeling in a long row in front of the chancel rail during their Holy Communion ceremony. Two priests flank the bishop as he addresses the children from within the chancel. Murals and statuary of religious icons and angels adorn the sanctuary, frescoed ceiling, and alcoves of the church. Damaged during the Nativist Riots in the spring of 1844, the church maintained most of its original appearance.
